TWENTY Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors Thursday promised to back President Goodluck Jonathan's bid for the ruling party's presidential ticket.
It is, however, with a proviso – that he will rule for only one term, if elected.
The governors' position was announced in a communiqué read by Katsina State Governor Ibrahim Shema after their meeting in Abuja last night.
The communiqué reads: "At the emergency meeting of PDP governors held Thursday 16th day of December, 2010 and having deliberated extensively on democratic practices the world over observed as follows:
"Democratic systems all over the world recognise the principle of incumbency and continuity.
"Entrenched democratic culture persistent in presidential system and our constitution entitles our President to run for a second term which the PDP governors support.
