Stop Disgracing Me, Jonathan Begs PDP Governors; Breakaway Faction Gives Conditions For Meeting

President Goodluck Jonathan has appealed to governors elected on the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to stop disgracing him in public

Jonathan, who is still coping with the unexpected shock he received yesterday when seven governors broke away from the party to form a parallel PDP during the party's mini convention in Abuja, called the governors to a peace meeting at the Presidential Villa on Sunday night.

But as of the time of this report, only 16 of the 23 governors, including those of the G5+ who had been on a consultation tour, had arrived at the meeting, which was being held at the previously-unknown First Lady wing in the villa. Several of the governors hurriedly left Abuja to avoid meeting with the president.
