The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has summoned a meeting of leaders and stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.

The meeting was the first in the state since the party’s presidential primary and the crisis that followed its outcome.

Though the agenda of the meeting could not be ascertained as at the time of filing the report, a source said that since the recent happenings in the party at the national level, party stakeholders in the state had yet to hear directly from the governor.

The stakeholders were expected to hear from the governor directly about his position and the next line of action regarding the PDP crisis.

It was gathered that at the meeting were party leaders, members of the State Executive Council, the party’s local government chairmen and selected others.

The source said the crucial meeting was connected to the recent crisis in the party, as the governor would brief his men on the position taken by his team to pull out of the party’s presidential campaign council.
