“We have resolved to work together as a Forum on the side of our party,” Gov. Tambuwal said while announcing that “the meeting continues tomorrow (Tuesday).“

“Very soon Nigerians will know that our party is united,” he xplained.

Monday’s meeting, which held at the Akwa Ibom Liaison Office in Asokoro, Abuja, was attended by all the PDP governors with the exception of the Deputy Governor of Zamfara state, Barrister Mahdi Aliyu Gusau.

Before the Forum adjourned, the National Chairman of the party, Secondus, made a brief appearance and left before the governors departed.
