The governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are holding a crucial meeting in Abuja as the party continues to grapple with internal conflicts threatening its unity.

The meeting, hosted at the residence of Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, has raised concerns among the party faithful, especially as the PDP battles factional disagreements.

Prominent figures present include Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State, Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State, and Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State.
