The Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, on Friday met with his Benue State counterpart, Samuel Ortom, in Abuja, IgbereTV reports
The meeting was part of ongoing efforts by PDP to resolve the crisis that trailed the emergence of Okowa as its vice-presidential candidate for next year’s election.
The disagreement over the choice of the Delta State governor as the running mate to the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has split the party into two groups with a faction backing the River State Governor, Nyesom Wike, for the role demanding the resignation of the party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, over his role in the saga.
Ortom, who featured in a Channels Television’s programme, Politics Today, earlier this month, said he supported Wike to be the party’s vice presidential candidate for the 2023 elections.
He also revealed that his Rivers counterpart was the choice of a committee put together by PDP to pick a running mate for Atiku
