Nyesom Wike led five governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) calling for the sack of the party’s chairman, Iyorcha Ayu met again in Enugu on Sunday but kept mute after their closed door meeting.

The five governors are Seyi Makinde of Oyo, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia, Samuel Ortom of Benue, Nyesom Wike of Rivers and host Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State met barely one week after its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar visited the state.

The Governors met at the Government House, Enugu apparently to plan a new strategy on their insistence for sack of the PDP Chairman.

The Gov. Nyesom Wike led group were received at the Akanu Ibiam Airport by the Enugu State Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.

The governors held a closed door meeting for few hours and refused to speak with newsmen at the end.

Meanwhile, if information reaching JustNews is anything to go by, Wike and other governors in his team, may have started thinking of dumping the Peoples Democratic Party, to join Labour Party and lend their support to its presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

The decision, which according to sources, is yet to be finalized, it was learnt became subject of  consideration, after the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, days ago visited Rivers State  governor, Wike,  and his  Oyo state counterpart,  Seyi Makinde, respectively, to have a private discussion with them.

The PDP has been in crisis since its presidential primary in May

The opposition governors had insisted on the resignation of the National Chairman of the party, Iyorcha Ayu, since the emergence of former Vice President Abubakar.

The group also boycotted the inauguration of the party’s presidential campaign council held on Sept. 28.
