Five governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) met behind closed doors on Sunday in Enugu State.
Governors at the meeting are Samuel Ortom (Benue), Nyesom Wike, (Rivers), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, (Enugu), Seyi Makinde, (Oyo), and Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia).
According to a statement by the Enugu State Government, the governors held a “crucial meeting in the Enugu Government House to discuss matters of public interest”.
The meeting that lasted for several hours came amid a crisis in the party over calls for the party’s national chairman Iyorchia Ayu to step down.
The five governors were also absent at the inauguration of the PDP presidential campaign council, which held on September 28.
Allies of Wike have insisted that they will not work for the party in the 2023 presidential election if Ayu fails to resign 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.
