At least two governors elected under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who were previously accused of aligning with the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, are conspicuously absent from the ongoing PDP convention in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The governors are Ademola Adeleke of Osun and Agbu Kefas of Taraba State.
However, governors Ahmadu Fintri of Adamawa State, Caleb Muftwang of Plateau State, Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State, and the host, Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, are currently present.
It was reported that Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara may also boycott the convention due to his ties with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike-led faction of the party.
VAM reports that despite conflicting court orders seeking to halt the exercise, the convention has already commenced.
While the Wike-led faction opposed the convention, the Umar Damagum-led faction of the party vowed to proceed with the elective exercise.
The Osun and Taraba states governors had previously been accused of attempting to defect to the ruling party, although the alleged moves have been denied on multiple occasions.
