Jonathan to meets rebel govs on Sunday

In an effort aimed at finding a lasting solution to the crisis
rocking the Peoples Democratic Party, President Goodluck
Jonathan is to meet with the seven aggrieved governors from
the party on Sunday.

Already, sources close to the governors said a letter had been
sent to them concerning the meeting.

The letter was said to have been signed by the President's
Chief of Staff, Mike Oghiadomhe, who indicated in the letter
that the meeting would hold by 9 p.m. at the First Lady's
Conference Room, the State House, Presidential Villa.

The governors are Rabiu Kwankwanso(Kano); Aliyu
Wamakko(Sokoto), Chibuike Amaechi (Rivers), Sule Lamido
(Jigawa), Aliyu Babangida (Niger); Abdulfatai Ahmed
(Kwara); and Murtala Nyako (Adamawa).

A source close to one of the governors, who spoke in
confidence with our correspondent on Wednesday night, said
the governors would attend the meeting.

He said, "Yes, we have been invited to the meeting, which
will hold on Sunday. We will be there and we hope that this
time around, we would be able to resolve our differences."
Before now, the President had met with the group twice, but
they were not able to arrive at an agreeable conclusion.
