Five governors of the People’s Democratic Party opposed to the current status quo within the party on Sunday met at the Government House, Enugu apparently on a new strategy for the party.

The Governor Nyesom Wike-led group was received at the Akanu Ibiam Airport by the Enugu State Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.

The five governors are Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, Samuel Ortom of Benue State, Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and host Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State met barely one week after its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar visited the state.

The governors held a closed door meeting for few hours and refused to speak with newsmen at the end.

The PDP has been in crisis since its presidential primary in May.

The opposition governors had insisted on the resignation of the National Chairman of the party, Iyorchia Ayu, since the emergence of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

The group also boycotted the inauguration of the party’s presidential campaign council held on September 28. (NAN)
