Deputy Chairman of  the PDP Governors Forum, and Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu said the delegation was in Minna for consultations in the build up to the 2023 general election.

“I have come with my colleagues, Governor of Rivers, Governor of Enugu, Governor of Oyo, some members of the National Assembly and other stakeholders. First, to consult with the former Head of State and discuss national issues: economic development, security, and unity of our country.

“And also, to commend him for his support for the unity of this country. And the discussions went very well and we will advance it from there.”
