Five of the governors – Abdufatah Ahmed of Kwara, Muazu Aliyu of Niger, Musa Kwankwaso of Kano, Sule Lamido of Jigawa and Aliyu Wamakko of Sokoto States – had earlier walked out of the Eagle Square, venue of the party’s convention in Abuja.
Governors Murtala Nyako of Adamawa and Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers States, who were barred from attending the convention, also joined the other governors to form the factional PDP.
Former Vice President, Abubakar Atiku, Senator Bukola Saraki and former national secretary of the PDP are also said to be members of the newly formed parallel PDP.
Five of the governors had recently visited some key leaders of the party to express their displeasure over the manner the party was being run. LOOD Naija
