Thirteen governors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) convened a closed-door meeting at the Government House in Enugu on Wednesday.
The governors, part of the PDP Governors Forum, arrived in Enugu State on Tuesday in preparation for the meeting.
The attendees included Governors Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta, Bala Mohammed of Bauchi, Godwin Obaseki of Edo, Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau, Agbu Kefas of Taraba, Dauda Lawal of Zamfara, Ademola Adeleke of Osun, Douye Diri of Bayelsa, Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa, Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers, and the host governor, Peter Mbah of Enugu State.
Other prominent party leaders, such as Adolphus Wabara, Chairperson of the PDP Board of Trustees, Taofeek Arapaja, the Deputy National Chairperson, South, former governor of Kaduna State, Ahmed Makarfi, and former governor of Niger State, Babangida Aliyu, were also present.
In his opening remarks, Governor Mohammed of Bauchi State, who is also the Chairperson of the PDP Governors’ Forum, emphasized the significance of the meeting.
“This meeting is very unique and auspicious because we are here to showcase our history as a party. We have been leading in this country as a party. We have all the structures established before the commencement of the APC administration,” he said.
He also highlighted the meeting’s focus on governance, party administration, and preparation for upcoming elections, including the Edo State congresses and the 2027 general election.
Mohammed stressed the need for the PDP to provide a credible alternative to the current national administration.
“Actions at the national level have shown that we are drifting to anarchy, and we cannot allow this. We have a shared history and a shared aspiration to make sure that Nigeria places itself well in the comity of nations where we lead as usual,” he stated.
The meeting aims to strategize on moving the party and the nation forward, addressing current governance issues, and ensuring the PDP remains a strong political force in Nigeria.
