After more than four hours of meeting in Abuja over the fissure threatening the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leadership, its Governors Forum led by Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of Sokoto State has resolved to back the party in its march towards greater unification.
Equally, the PDP-GF, which Governor Tambuwal told newsmen that its meeting will continue Tuesday, is also committed to working together to move the party forward.
“We have resolved to work together as a forum on the side of our party,” Governor Tambuwal said while announcing that “the meeting continues tomorrow.”
“Very soon Nigerians will know that our party is united,” he briefly explained.
Monday meeting held at the Akwa Ibom Liaison Office in Asokoro, Abuja, was attended by all the PDP governors with the exception of the Deputy Governor of Zamfara State, Barrister Mahdi Aliyu Gusau.
A statement signed by the special adviser on media and publicity to the governor, Muhammad Bello and made available to newsmen said before the forum adjourned the meeting National Chairman of the party, Chief Uche Secondus made a brief appearance and left before the governors departed.
