Nyesom Wike, the River Stae governor on Sunday met with some governors of his party – the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) – and a few other members.
The meeting held behind closed doors at the Rivers State Governor’s Lodge, Abuja.
Although the details of the meeting, which lasted hours, remains unclear, it might be connected to the internal crisis in the PDP.
The governor, who recently returned from a foreign trip, had accused the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, of lying against him.
He had also described some of their party’s chieftains as ‘attack dogs’ of Atiku.
His comment was a reaction to his defeat at the party’s presidential primary and the failure of Atiku – who won the election – to pick him as the running mate.
It was reported how an aggrieved Mr Wike refused to congratulate the Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, after he emerged the vice-presidential candidate.
The governor also reportedly ignored efforts made by Atiku and his team to see him – a move Mr Wike described as untrue.
He, however, said Atiku did not send anyone to speak to him.
He further said the idea of setting up a committee was only being seen in the media and insisted that he would remain in the PDP and help rebuild the party.
