Gov. Aliyu Wamakko of Sokoto State on Monday while addressing newsmen after a seven-hour meeting of some PDP governors, including three of the G-7 governors, with President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja said that the five governors who defected to the APC had resolved to dump the PDP for good.
''Well, the meeting went on very well because some of us came here as governors to discuss PDP matter and our position has been known.
''On behalf of the five of us, I have already briefed Mr president on our position as G-5 that we are no longer in the PDP mainstream and that we are already in another party.
Gov. Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom, who also spoke on the outcome of the meeting, said it was part of President Jonathan's efforts to ensure harmony and
peace in the PDP.
"Mr president is not relenting. He is very serious about consulting with all strata and all bigwigs in the party, particularly the governors who are aggrieved, with a view to bringing everybody on board and
ensuring harmony and unity of the party and the governors,'' he added.
He refuted the insinuation that the meeting with the president was unfruitful as the aggrieved governors maintained their position of leaving the PDP.
