The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum said they are working together to come up with a solution soon to address the crisis rocking the party.
Recall that crisis emerged following, PDP presidential candidate, former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar’s choice of Delta state governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa as the running mate and the insistence of Rivers state governor, Chief Nyesom Wike’s group on the removal of the party’s national chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu.
Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, Sokoto state governor, Aminu Tambuwal, who disclosed this, Thursday in Abuja after playing host to the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT), hinted that they have engaged with the BoT and they believe that they will come up with a solution to the problem facing the party.
He said “I will like to thank the BoT Chairman, members and his team for this very important initiative. We all know that the BoT is the conscience of the party and whenever there are issues of this nature, the Board of Trustees steps in, it is part of their functions in the party, constitutionally speaking.”
Tambuwal said, “We have engaged with them and I believe that what they are likely to come up with will be a solution to the problem we have.
“Be rest assured that as governors of the party, we are also talking to ourselves on the way forward and very soon the Governors Forum will meet and we will come up with what we feel should be the solution and the way forward for the party.
“We are all interested in working together for an objective and that objective is for the party and Nigerians of good Will, because we believe we have had enough of the government of APC.
Earlier in his remarks, the Chairman of PDP BoT, Senator Adolphus Wabara, assured that Nigerians will see a more united party before the commencement of presidential campaign.
