Months after the failed attempt to clinch the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s presidential ticket, the Governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike has met with his fellow governors and other party members who coordinated his Presidential campaign.
The well attended meeting which held behind closed doors at the Rivers State Governors Lodge, Abuja, on Sunday, was the first since the party’s presidential primaries.
Although the agenda of the meeting was not made public, but Pointblanknews.com gathered that the agenda revolved around the seemingly intractable post presidential primary crisis which is threatening to split the party.
A member of the PDP Board of Trustees and North Central Coordinator of the Wike Presidential campaign, Prof. Jerry Gana, who spoke briefly after the closed door meeting which lasted over an hour said, “This is the first meeting we are holding with all our candidates in the states after the primaries. We are united are are one.
“We know that developments will unfold and when they do, we shall brief Nigerians.”
However, a source familiar with what transpired behind closed doors said, “Members only reviewed what transpired during the primary and what our next line of action should be since no one has deemed it fit to sit down with our principal and discuss like genuine party men should.”
Those at the meeting include Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo state, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia state, Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state and Governor of Enugu state Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
Others are: former governor of Cross River state Donald Duke, former governor of some Benue state Gabriel Suswam, former Ondo state governor Olusegun Mimiko, former Bayelsa state governor Seriake Dickson, Ibrahim Idris of Kogi state and former Plateau state governor Jonah Jang.
Others include: Former PDP Deputy National Vice Chairman North, Senator Suleiman Nazif, former Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Adoke, member of the House of Representatives from Kogi State, Tajudeen Yusuf among others.
