According to The Nation, the meeting held late at night was summoned by the Rivers governor.

It was gathered that the governor’s camp has six options namely. They include:

1. To accept the status quo and cooperate with the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar;
2. To insist on the sack of Iyorchia Ayu and be uncommitted to 2023 poll if Atiku refuses to bow to pressure;
3. To remain in the party and work against it;
4. Go into covert alliance with the ruling party to prove its strength as a Caucus in PDP;
5. To leave the party; and
6. To refuse to fund the party at all levels.
