Tuesday’s meeting between PDP board members and their host, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, was closed to journalists covering it at the Government House in Port Harcourt.
On second thought, Governor Wike asked Adolphus Wabara, the party’s acting BoT chairman, if he would mind an open meeting after it was learned that he had welcomed state house media into his home.
Wabara apparently gave an unfavourable response, and the newsmen were let go.
The meetings, which started early afternoon, are still on, as expectations are high for a fruitful outcome.
Seven of the BoT members currently in the meeting with Wike and his men are Senator Wabara; former Governor of Kogi State, Ibrahim Idris; Chief Shuaib Oyedokun; Zainab Maina; Dr. Esther Uduehi; former Governor of Enugu State, Okwesilieze Nwodo; and a former Minister of Special Duties, Tanimu Turaki.
The visiting BoT members are joined for the meeting by some BoT members from Rivers State and other party state leaders.
