In a bid to consolidate what they termed the rescue and rebuild Nigeria project, governors elected under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are to meet in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Monday.
The meeting, being hosted by the state governor, Nyesom Wike, is the first in the new year and the next in the series, which has seen it rotated among the main opposition states.
According to a statement issued by Hon Cyril Maduabum, the Director-General of the PDP Governors Forum, on Sunday, the meeting will review the state of the respective states, the state of the nation and readiness of the PDP to provide the necessary leadership to rescue and rebuild Nigeria.
All the elected PDP governors are expected to attend the meeting to be presided over by the Chairman of the Forum and Sokoto state governor, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal.
The statement informed that the meeting will be preceded by a Gala night to be hosted by Governor Wike.
“The PDP Governors are working in concert and consultations with other leaders of the party and in particular the Senator Dr Iyorchia Ayu led National Executive Committee of PDP to craft a credible process and programme for Nigeria’s positive rebirth,” the statement said.
According to the statement, the party boss has been invited to attend the Port Harcourt meeting to hold consultations with the governors on strategies for executing “the Rescue and Rebuild Nigeria project.”
