Thirteen governors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are gathering in Enugu for a big meeting on Wednesday.
Dr. Peter Mbah, the governor of Enugu State, welcomed his fellow governors at the Government House in Enugu. One of the first to arrive was the Chairman of the Forum and governor of Bauchi State, Senator Bala Mohammed.
Other governors who came include Siminalayi Fubara from Rivers State, Seyi Makinde from Oyo, Umo Eno from Akwa-Ibom, Sheriff Oborevwori from Delta, Godwin Obaseki from Edo, Caleb Mutfwang from Plateau, Agbu Kefas from Taraba, Dauda Lawal from Zamfara, and Ahmed Fintiri from Adamawa.
Governors from Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, and Bayelsa State, Senator Douye Diri, were expected to arrive soon.
The agenda for the meeting hasn’t been shared, but they are likely to talk about upcoming party events, elections in Edo and Ondo, problems within the party, and the general state of the country.
This PDP Governors’ Forum started on February 24, 2013, when Dr. Goodluck Jonathan was President. This forum allows the governors to share ideas, knowledge, and experiences to improve their states and the party.
On Tuesday night, Dr. Mbah organized a special cultural event to welcome and honor the visiting governors.
