Daily Trust reports that a chieftain of the party said that Wike camp was waiting for the outcome of the efforts of the Board of Trustees (BoT) Reconciliation Committee headed by the acting chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara.
A source said, “Everything now depends on the reconciliation efforts of the BoT, after the meeting between Atiku and Wike on Thursday.
“Many people were thinking that the governors will make their position known after the Sunday meeting in Enugu, but as it stands no one is sure.”
Also, another source at the PDP headquarters was quoted as saying that as it was, only the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and the BoT could resolve the crisis.
