 Good afternoon, I am Khadija Balugrum and this is the News Brief. The leadership of the People's Democratic Party has convened an emergency meeting. Following the withdrawal of Governor Yosemite Wike of River State, Israel State counterparts Shayeem Makhendi, ex-Information Minister, Professor Jerry Ganna, and other prominent party chieftains from the party's presidential campaign council. The Wike came and announced the plan not to participate in the campaign council, which was scheduled for inauguration next Wednesday after a meeting at Wike's private residence in Port Arcott River State. They hinged their decision on the failure of the party's chairman, Iotcha Ayyu, to resign from office, insisting that the position must come to the South for balance, justice, and equity. For the national chairman, Senator Iotcha Ayyu, to go and embrace Tamboal calling him the hero of the convention, which means there was a private arrangement. And therefore, we unequivocally ask that Ayyu has to step down. To work for the party, to the extent that fairness, equity, and justice is ensured in the party. They're not different from the things that I mentioned at the Southwest, the consultative meeting. And that is exactly where we are. We hope that the powers that be will listen to the voice of reason and do the needful. Excellent governance comes back to this country. But that cannot be achieved unless we have a proper structure of the party as designed by the founding fathers. If we want to restructure Nigeria, we should have the courage to restructure our party.
