The proposed meeting between President Goodluck
Jonathan and leaders of the New People's Democratic Party, PDP, has been
postponed due to some of the Governor's Hajj trip to Mecca.
Alh. Abubakar Kawu Baraje, the National
Chairman of PDP was said to have called from Saudi Arabia around 9pm on Sunday
and directed that the Governors and stakeholders of party that includes Rt.
Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, Alh. Babangida Aliyu of Niger
State, Alh. Kwankwaso of Kano State who are yet to travel to Mecca should meet
with President Jonathan by 9am on Monday to seek permission for the
postponement.
The meeting is scheduled to hold at Aso Rock
Villa, Abuja. The postponed gathering is expected to be fixed to a more
convenient date when all the party's leaders would have returned from their
trip to Mecca.
A source in the party squealed to Global
Village Extra that "shifting the meeting to morning period is to
allow the mentioned Governors apart from Gov Amaechi to travel to Mecca later
on Monday for the Haji operation."
According to the National Chairman, Alh. Kawu
Baraje, "this step is bore out of the plea by President Jonathan and
respect we have for his office."
