PDP CRISIS: G5 governors storm Lagos, hold closed-door meeting

The five governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) opposed to the continued stay of Iyorchia Ayu as the party’s national chairman on Sunday held a strategic meeting behind closed-doors in Lagos.

The governors have continued to insist on the removal of Ayu as a condition to support the presidential bid of Atiku Abubakar, the party’s flag bearer in the 2023 elections.

It is expected that the governors are meeting to review their strategy and the way forward given the insistence of Atiku to stand by Ayu.
