President Goodluck Jonathan has pleaded with governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to stop disgracing him in public. The appeal is coming after some PDP governors walked out of the Party’s Special convention which was held at Eagles Square,Abuja over the weekend.
Last night Jonathan held a peace meeting with the 16 PDP governors at the First Lady wing in the villa. Several other PDP governors scurried out of Abuja to avoid meeting with the president.
Present at the meeting were ,Mu'azu Babangida Aliyu (Niger), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso (Kano), Isa Yuguda (Bauchi), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa), Idris Wada (Kogi), Liyel Imoke (Cross River), Jonah Jang (Plateau), Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom), Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara), Emmanuel Uduaghan (Delta), Ibrahim Shema (Katsina), Murktar Ramalan Yero (Kaduna), Garba Umar (Taraba Acting Governor), Seidu Dakingari (Kebbi), Theodore Orji (Abia), and Ibrahim Dankwambo (Gombe).
Also present at the meeting were the counsel to PDP, Joe Kyari Gadzama; the National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki; the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim; and the Chief of Staff to the president, Mike Oghiadhome.
According to Sahara reporters, the President, who looked subdued, begged the governors to sheathe their swords and stop disgracing him in the public.
Meanwhile, it has been learnt that the breakway faction of the party sent Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso to offer Mr. Jonathan two conditions for a meeting with him: step down from running in 2015, and let the party hold a fresh convention.
Over the past 24 hours , President Jonathan has been in several closed door sessions. The President is battling hard to save himself from the political war that has engulfed his party.
