“And we hereby reiterate that the window for reconcilation in our great party, PDP, remains open.”

The meeting availed Wike and his allies the opportunity to review recent developments in the party before taking their next step.

Those at the meeting included Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State and Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State.
