The Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party will meet with Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike in Port Harcourt on Tuesday in a bid to address the issue that is roiling the party.

At noon, a meeting will be conducted at Port Harcourt’s State Government House (12pm).

On Tuesday morning, a senior party official in the state who did not want his name mentioned verified this to our correspondent.

“Yes, it is confirmed that the PDP BoT members will meet His Excellency, the Governor (Wike) today in Port Harcourt.
“You very well know what is happening in the parry, the issues and everything. So such meeting is crucial. That is all I can tell you,” he said.

Wike’s men and Governors of Enugu, Abia, Benue, Oyo States, as well as some top PDP stakeholders in the state are expected to be at the meeting.

ANAEDOONLINE.NG reported that Governor Wike and some governors in the South had boycotted the campaign flag-off of the party’s Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

To this effect, it is expected that deliberations at the meeting will be aimed at finding a common ground to pacify Wike and his men as the 2023 elections inch closer.

Governor Wike and four of his counterparts, now known as the big five governors, have formed an alliance to seek equity and justice in the party.

Top of their demands is the resignation of the PDP national chairman, Senator Iyorcha Ayu, to pave the way for a southerner to succeed him since Atiku, a northerner, is the presidential standard bearer of the party.
