The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum may not be over soon as 11  out of the 23 governors  of  the party  failed to attend its meeting in Abuja on Wednesday night.

The meeting, which was initially slated for 3pm, had to be shifted to 8pm when information got to its organisers   that majority of the governors might not attend.

At 8pm, the National Chairman of the party, Dr. Bamanga Tukur, who was also at the Akwa Ibom State Governor’s Lodge in Asokoro District, Abuja, had to leave  due to poor attendance by the governors.

Tukur was said to have come with the intention of briefing the governors on the modalities he  had considered before naming members of the party’s National Reconciliation Committee.
