The five Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors in the South South geo-political zone yesterday resolved to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari over security issues in their area.
The resurgence of attacks on pipelines in the region especially in Delta State and the menace of herdsmen, who have been attacking farmers, were condemned by the governors who said they would take the issues up with the President.
They however did not state the time the meeting will hold at a briefing with reporters in Asaba after a meeting yesterday, attended by all of them.
Host Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, who spoke to reporters, was joined by Governors Udom Emmanuel (Akwa Ibom) Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Seriake Dickson (Bayelsa) and Ben Ayade (Cross Rivers).
Okowa said the meeting also discussed how the PDP would do well in the Edo State governorship election. Edo is the only state controlled by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the zone and its governorship election is due in September.
