President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday night met with governors elected on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP.

One major highpoint of the meeting was the presence of Niger State Governor, Babangida Aliyu, a former member of the group of seven governors who made up the defunct New PDP.

Before the meeting, the PDP governors had met at the Akwa Ibom Governors Lodge for several hours before moving to the Presidential Villa.

Channels Television State House Correspondent, Chukwuma Onwekwusi reported that the meeting held behind closed doors and that the Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido appeared to also be in attendance.

While the President met with Governors Aliyu and Lamido in the conference room of the First Lady, Vice President Nnamadi Sambo met with others in “House Seven.”

After the meeting which ended at about 9pm, PDP Board of Trustees, Chairman, Tony Annenih, said the meeting was in a bid to restore confidence and trust in the party.

Governor Aliyu said he attended the meeting because he is still a staunch member of the party and disclosed that a series of meetings will hold during the week as well as on Sunday.
