Legit.ng gathered that Akinwonmi said the chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, Aminu Tambuwal, noted he brought the greetings of his colleague governors to the meeting.

He said:

“We are working together for the good of our party; whatever issues we have will be resolved at this caucus meeting.”

“By the grace of God, we will take decisions that will be in the interest of the party. Let us set aside all personal interests to make this party great.”

In his comment, the chairman of the National Assembly caucus, Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe, said that every Nigerian is looking up to us in the PDP to give a sense of direction because the other party, including the president, had admitted failure.

Abaribe noted:

“He (Buhari) said he won’t finish his tenure a failure. That, in itself, is an admittance of failure. We in the National Assembly are in support of this effort.”
