PDP governors begin meeting in Oyo
Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have arrived at the Oyo State Government Secretariat, Agodi, Ibadan, for a closed-door meeting scheduled to be held at the Executive Council Chamber.
The governors are being led by the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum and Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed.
The host governor, Seyi Makinde, who treated the visiting governors to a dinner on Sunday night, is expected to join the meeting shortly.
Notably absent from the gala night was the Vice Chairman of the Forum and embattled Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara.
It remains uncertain if he will attend Monday’s session.
Among the governors already present for the meeting are Senator Douye Diri (Bayelsa), Ahmadu Fintiri (Adamawa), Caleb Mutfwang (Plateau), Pastor Umo Eno (Akwa Ibom), Sheriff Oborevwori (Delta), Agbu Kefas (Taraba), Peter Mbah (Enugu), and Dauda Lawal (Zamfara).
As of the time of filing this report, the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, had yet arrived.
Though he participated in the Sunday night gala, it was gathered that he had returned to Osun to attend to pressing state matters and is expected back in Ibadan for the meeting.
