 Good afternoon, I am Ifanya Yelumazem. This is the News Update. The Board of Trustees of the People's Democratic Party, led by ex-Senate President Adolfos Wabara, are meeting with Governor-in-Yens on the weekend of River State in Patakot over the crisis rocking the party. The emergency meeting was summoned by the Wabara-led BOT as part of efforts to reconcile with Wike and some aggrieved thousand governors in the party. The delegation also aims to persuade Wike and his allies to support the party candidate, Abubaka Artiku, ahead of 2023. Wike and some PDP governors have been mounting pressure on the party's national chairman, Iochai Yu, to step down for a Southerner. The governors include Edifanyu Guan, Enugu, Samuel, Tom, Benway, Shaiyimaki Nde, Oyo, and Okazie Ikwazu of Abia State. Wike and his allies had been summoned on September 20th and now via withdrawal from Artiku's presidential campaign council.
