PDP Governors meet in Benue

The governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will meet today in Makurdi, the Benue State capital to deliberate on the state of insecurity across the country.

A statement issued by the Director-General of the PDP Governors’ Forum, Mr Cyril Maduabum, noted that the meeting would be hosted by the Benue State Governor, Mr Samuel Ortom.

It added that the parley would come up with an implementable blueprint for tackling insecurity and sundry criminality facing the nation.

It noted that the meeting would also afford the governors, an opportunity to review the state of the party.

Maduabum said the governors would fine-tune strategies on how to strengthen the party to “rescue the nation from the rudderless All Progressives Congress administration that has plunged the country into the current avoidable crises of governance.”

The statement added that the Enugu State Governor, Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, had already arrived at Makurdi for the meeting.

It stated that the chairman of the forum, who is the Governor of Sokoto State, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal, was being expected alongside Governors Nyesom Wike, Ifeanyi Okowa, Okezie Ikpeazu and Ben Ayade from Rivers, Delta, Abia and Cross River states, respectively.
