Governors elected under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Thursday night, met with the Leadership of the party, alongside the immediate past Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and House of Representatives Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, in Abuja.

The meeting which held at the Bayelsa State Government Lodge, Maitama, Abuja, saw the newly elected Governors under the party, join their returning colleagues, to deliberate on issues affecting the nation and the party.

It was learnt that meeting dwelt on the tussle for the leadership of the National Assembly, the re-positioning of the party for the next four years, and the petition by the party’s Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, at the Election Petition Tribunal.
The meeting however, came less than two weeks after the previous one which saw the Bayelsa State Governor, Henry Dickson, take over as the Chairman of the body. This followed the exit of the former Gombe State Governor, Ibrahim Dankwambo.

Besides the host, Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State, other Governors at the meeting were: Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, Delta; Seyi Makinde, Oyo; Dave Umahi, Ebonyi; Darius Ishyaku, Taraba; Senator Bala Mohammed, Bauchi; Adamu Fintiri, Adamawa; Okezie Ikpeazu, Abia; Nyesom Wike, Rivers; Udom Emmanuel, Akwa Ibom; Emeka Ihedioha, Imo; Hon.
