Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has emerged as the new chairman of the PDP governors forum.
His emergence follows the resignation of Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, who was the chairman of the forum at the ongoing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting sitting in Abuja.
Tambuwal stepped down after BoT Chairman, Walid Jibrin, announced his resignation.
The latest moves are aimed at pacifying the South, especially the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, to support the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar, ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
