Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are currently meeting over the state of the party on Sunday night.

The meeting also had in attendance former PDP governors. However, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister, Nyesom Wike, arrived at the meeting, which is being held at the Bauchi State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja.

The meeting was the first since one of the PDP governors, Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State, dumped the opposition party for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The meeting, which was billed to commence by 7pm, however, started much later. It was expected to deliberate on the impact of defections that have hit the party in recent months, the top of which was in Delta State.

Those in attendance included Governor Ademola Adeleke (Osun); Governor Caleb Mutfwang (Plateau); Governor Bala Mohammed (Bauchi); Governor Seyi Makinde (Oyo); Governor Ahmadu Fintiri (Adamawa); Governor Peter Mbah (Enugu); Governor Dauda Lawal (Zamfara), and Governor Kefas Agbu (Taraba).

Some of the former governors present were Ahmed Makarfi; Seriake Dickson; Olagunsoye Oyinlola; Achike Udenwa; Liyel Imoke; Ifeanyi Ugwanyi (Enugu); Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia); Samuel Ortom (Benue); Idris Wada (Kogi) Babangida Aliyu (Niger); Adamu Muazu (Bauchi); Udom Emmanuel (Akwa Ibom); Aminu Waziri Tambuwal (Sokoto); Gabriel Suswan (Benue); Abubakar Bukola Saraki (Kwara); Sule Lamido (Jigawa), and Ibrahim Dankwambo (Gombe).

The party’s NWC members at the meeting were acting national chairman Amb. Umar Damagum; National Organizing Secretary, Umar Bature, and National Legal Adviser, Kamardeen Ajibade.

The ranks of the party have been split over a series of crises ranging from national chairmanship seat, national secretary position, the tussle for party leadership in Rivers State, and the congresses conducted.

The meeting would also review their court case on the emergency rule in Rivers State. Recall that themPDP governors had challenged the state of emergency declaration at the Supreme Court.

The meeting also comes ahead of the elusive National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the party. Internal wranglings have caused the postponement of the NEC meeting six times.
As of the time of filing this report, the meeting was still ongoing.
