As part of efforts to resolve the crisis rocking the Peoples
Democratic Party, the Board of Trustees of the party will today meet the Rivers
State Governor, Nyesom Wike, in Port Harcourt Tuesday.
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 our correspondent on Tuesday morning.
“Yes, it is confirmed that the PDP BoT members will meet His
Excellency, the Governor (Wike) today in Port Harcourt.
“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.
