The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Governors' Forum, (PDP-GF), Bala Mohammed, has said that Tuesday's stakeholders meeting was convened to further smoothen relations among party leaders after the National Working Committee (NWC) crisis last week.

Mohammed said this in his opening remarks during the expanded meeting of the PDP-GF with the Board of Trustees,(BoT), National Working Committee (NWC) and former governors among others, late on Tuesday.

According to him, the meeting has only one agenda, which is that of reconciliation.

Mohammed said, "This is a PDP meeting. It is not a governor's meeting, it is not a caucus meeting but a meeting of PDP stakeholders.

"It is a one-item agenda meeting. As you can see, we are all United today under the leadership of Amb. Umar Damagum. We are here to discuss issues that are germain.

"We will resist any attempt to make Nigeria a one-party state. We will use our experiences since 1999 to provide Nigerians with an alternative platform."

Only five of the party's 13 governors were at the meeting as at the time of filing this report.

They were Bala Mohammed (Bauchi), Dauda Lawal (Zamfara), Siminalaye Fubara (Rivers), Caleb Muftwan (Plateau) and Ademola Adeleke (Osun).
