Incumbent governors were not invited to the meeting.

Also invited are Donald Duke; Senator Gabriel Suswam; Boni Haruna; Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi; Liyel Imoke; Olusegun Mimiko; Sule Lamido, among others.

While the agenda of the meeting was not divulged by the party leadership, LEADERSHIP learnt that the meeting was called to reflect on the future of the party in light of its poor state in the last eight years.

The party has remained split between camps loyal to Atiku and Wike, a fallout of the last presidential election which also manifested in the recent National Assembly leadership election.

A top member of the party who pleaded anonymity, said as much as he might not be certain as to the exact purpose of the meeting, “It is clear to everyone that all is not well with the party and a deep and sincere conversation has to begin if it has to survive.”

The source who noted that the party remains the major opposition platform, noted that it was however critical for party leaders to act fast if they intend to retain their place in the minds of Nigerians, he said.

“Without a doubt there is serious work to be done. It won’t be easy,” the source said.

Today’s meeting is the third major gathering of party leaders since the general election which is being contested by the party’s presidential candidate.

PDP leaders had met at a retreat in Bauchi State and later in Abuja at an event to honour outgoing governors and former chairmen of the party’s governors forum. Wike was absent at both meetings which were attended by Atiku.
