The current Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah was also present.
All six governors and former governors are members of the PDP who refused to support their party in the 2023 presidential election.
They unsuccessfully pushed for the ouster of the party’s national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, a northerner.
According to the PDP bigwigs, it was unfair for the PDP chairman and the presidential candidate to be northerners.
FURTHER READING
Eventually, the governors did not support their party’s candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and most of them backed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who later emerged winner of the presidential contest.
