In a gathering at the Abuja residence of Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, key players were in attendance, including the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, several prominent governors such as Ademola Adeleke of Osun, Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau, Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa, Seyi Makinde of Oyo, and Peter Mbah of Enugu. Former governors like Liyel Imoke (Cross River), Achike Udenwa (Imo), Olagunsoye Oyinlola (Osun), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), and Seriake Dickson (Bayelsa) were also present.
The meeting, which took place Sunday night, was called to prep for the party's upcoming National Executive Council (NEC) meeting at the end of May. Governor Mohammed addressed the press, explaining that the meeting aimed to resolve internal issues, ensure a harmonious NEC gathering, and pave the way for a fruitful national convention later in the year.
Notably, the meeting saw the inclusion of former governors due to their invaluable experience in resolving party disputes.
Amidst chatter about recent party defectors and speculation about forthcoming joiners, Governor Mohammed expressed confidence that such transitions would ultimately fortify the party. He emphasized the party's determination to regain control of states it once dominated, outlining plans to reclaim lost ground strategically.
