The details of the meeting between the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the governors of the party have emerged.

Others in the meeting are the Governor of Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu, Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, and Kwara State Governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, among others.

In a chat with DAILY POST, a party source said one of the resolutions taken at the meeting was to appoint different roles for the party chieftains in the Presidential Campaign Council.

The APC stalwart added that the organogram of the campaign structure was also discussed and the appointments to the council were also discussed at the meeting.

He disclosed that the campaign council also has 14 directorates in the campaign council, while the Zonal Campaign Coordinators for the six geo-political zones would be headed by the governors.

Ayu’s Resignation Tops Agenda As Atiku/Wike’s Men Meet To Resolve Feud

The removal of the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Iyorchia Ayu, will be one of the main agendas between the camps of the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar, and Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike.

Recall that the PDP plunged into crisis after Atiku overlooked Wike and picked Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State as his running mate for the presidential election.

The Rivers governor, who came second in the party’s presidential primary, has refused to openly back the presidential ambition of Atiku.

Some top members of the party who are unhappy with the PDP leadership have also joined Wike in calling for the resignation of the party’s National Chairman.

But Ayu has rejected the calls, insisting that he was elected for a tenure of four years and was ready to serve it out.

It remains to be seen if Wike and Atiku’s camps will be able to come to any compromise as they meet again today (Friday) for reconciliation.

According to Daily Trust, Wike’s camp believe that with Ayu as the PDP’s national chairman, they will not get justice.
