With PDP's internal challenges growing more pronounced, the result of the Abuja meeting may determine whether the party can regain its footing in the lead-up to future elections.

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.

Although the official agenda of the meeting remains undisclosed, inside sources reveal that the governors will tackle significant issues affecting the party's future.

Key topics include the appointment of a substantive national chairman, the possibility of convening a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, and preparations for the upcoming Ondo State governorship election.
