Ahead of the 2019 general elections, governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) converged in Gombe, yesterday.
The meeting may not be unconnected with
recent developments within the party and as the PDP strategize ahead of
next year’s elections.
Sources at Gombe Government House, where
the meeting held, with Governor Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo playing host,
disclosed to Daily Sun that Dankwambo, who was away to Maiduguri, Borno
State, to attend the wedding ceremony of a daughter of one of his
commissioners, quickly returned to be on ground to supervise
preparations to host his colleagues.
Thereafter, the governor hosted his colleagues to dinner at the Banquet Hall, at the government house.
They were governors of Cross River (Prof.
Ben Ayade), Taraba (Darius Ishaku), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), Ifeanyi
Okowa (Delta and Ayodele Fayose (Ekiti).
Another source said the parley may not be unconnected with Dankwambo’s alleged 2019 presidential ambition.
At the weekend, Professors Jerry Gana and
Tunde Adeniran announced their decision to leave the PDP for the Social
Democratic Party (SDP), as a fallout of the lingering crisis
confronting the party since its national convention.
