Governors of Kano, Rivers, Kwara and Niger states attended today’s press conference at the Kano Governors’ Lodge in Abuja where the announcement of the merger was made.
The split with the PDP is an aftermath of the crisis which began when the governors walked out of the Special Delegates Convention of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in August.
The governors followed Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, who also walked out, to the Yar’adua Center in Abuja where they announced the formation of the new PDP.
Also in the protest walk-out was a former Chairman of the PDP, Abubakar Baraje, and some senators.
