Five governors on the platform of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), on Sunday, held a closed-door meeting in Enugu state.
Governors present at the meeting were Samuel Ortom (Benue),
Nyesom Wike, (Rivers), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, (Enugu), Seyi Makinde, (Oyo), and
Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia).
According to a statement by the Enugu government, the
governors held a “crucial meeting in the Enugu Government House to discuss
matters of public interest”.
The meeting was said to have lasted for several hours.
The meeting comes amid a crisis in the party over calls for
Iyorchia Ayu to step down as national chairman of the party.
The five governors were also absent at the inauguration of
the PDP presidential campaign council, which held on September 28.
Meanwhile, allies of Wike have insisted that they will not
work for the party in the 2023 presidential election if Ayu does not step down
as chairman.
The calls for the resignation of Ayu is said to be on the
grounds that the party chairman and presidential candidate cannot be from the
same region.
