G5 meets in Lagos

A strategic meeting of the five governors elected on the platform of the PDP along with some aggrieved party leaders took place in Lagos.

However the meeting may be in connection with agitations for the removal of Senator Iyorchia Ayu the PDP National Chairman.

Sources, privy to the meeting, reported that the meeting would avail  Wike and his allies the opportunity to review recent developments in the party before taking its next step.

Governor Wike and his allies are currently having a closed door meeting and are expected to brief the press later.

Those expected at the meeting include Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State and Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State.

Others at the meeting are former governor of Ondo State, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, former Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayo Fayose, former Cross River State Governor, Mr Donald Duke, former Plateau State Governor, Mr Jonah Jang and former Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, Chief Bode George.

Also present are former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Mr Bello Adoke; Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, Mr Taoferk Arapaja; Senator Nasif Suleiman, Mr Nnena Ukeje, Senator S. O. Onor and Senator Mao Ohabunwa.

Recall that the Presidential Candidate of the PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Governor Wike have been at daggers drawn over removal of Ayu and the need for the South to produce the party’s National Chairman.
