Obasanjo in closed-door meeting with G7 PDP governors in Abeokuta

The aggrieved governors of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, are currently in a closed-door meeting with former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

The meeting is being held at Obasanjo’s residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State, and is attended by five of the governors.

The aggrieved governors were led to Monday’s meeting by Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State who also drove the vehicle that conveyed his colleagues.

The other four governors at the meeting are Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano, Babangida Aliyu of Niger, Sule Lamido of Jigawa and Murtala Nyako of Adamawa.

The governors are members of the Abubakar Baraje-led faction of the PDP that is opposed to Bamanga Tukur as the chairman of the ruling party.

The governors were on Sunday prevented from holding their meeting in Abuja by the police who reportedly said they acted on orders from above.
