Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar are at a crucial meeting, probably to take a stand on coalition.
Apart from Atiku, other PDP members at the meeting are former President of the Senate, David Mark, former PDP National Chairman Prince Uche Secondus, former Governors Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto), Liyel Imoke (Cross River), Babangida Aliyu (Niger), Gabriel Suswam (Benue) and Sam Egwu (Ebonyi).
Others include Senator Ben Obi, former PDP National Women Leader Josephine Anenih, former National Organising Secretary, Senator Austin Akobundu, ex-National Publicity Secretary Kola Ologbondiyan, and former National Youth Leader Abdullahi Maibasira, among others.
Apart from Senator Ben Obi and Austin Akobundu, none of the PDP leaders was at the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) on Monday.
The meeting is probably preparatory to the signing of agreement by coalition leaders, which is likely to take place this week.
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is said to have been adopted as coalition platform.
Interestingly, Dr. Umar Ardo, who is among those promoting the registration of All Democratic Alliance (ADA), is also at the meeting.
Communique is expected at the end of the meeting.
