PDP BoT Members To Meet With Governor Wike Today Over Crisis Rocking The Party

 

The Peoples Democratic Party Board of Trustees will meet with the aggrieved Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike.

 

The meeting is scheduled today in Port Harcourt, according to Punch as part of effort to settle the crisis rocking the party.

 

The meeting will be held at the State Government House in Port Harcourt at noon (12pm).

 

A top official of the party in the state who did not want his name mentioned confirmed this on Tuesday morning.

 

“You very well know what is happening in the parry, the issues and everything. So such meeting is crucial. That is all I can tell you,” he said.

 

Wike’s men and Governors of Enugu, Abia, Benue, Oyo States, as well as some top PDP stakeholders in the state are expected to be at the meeting.

 

Governor Wike and some governors in the South had boycotted the campaign flag-off of the party’s Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

 

To this effect, it is expected that deliberations at the meeting will be aimed at finding a common ground to pacify Wike and his men as the 2023 elections inch closer.

 

Governor Wike and four of his counterparts, now known as the big five governors, have formed an alliance to seek equity and justice in the party.

 

Top of their demands is the resignation of the PDP national chairman, Senator Iyorcha Ayu, to pave the way for a southerner to succeed him since Atiku, a northerner, is the presidential standard bearer of the party.
