The meeting, probably the last between both sides, is aimed at bringing an end to the crisis rocking Nigeria’s ruling party.

According to a letter written to the governors, dated November 11 and signed by the President’s Chief of Staff, Mike Oghiodomhe, the meeting would hold by 9 p.m. at the First Lady’s conference room, the State House, Presidential Villa.

A source close to the Abubakar Baraje faction of the PDP confirmed that all the aggrieved governors received the letter, adding that the meeting would indeed hold and the governors would attend.

He added that the team expected to meet with the President would include five other governors who had indicated interest to join the faction
