President Jonathan in talk with Govs Babangida and Lamido

It appears the defection of five out of the seven New PDP governors to the APC is not final yet, as two of the governors made a surprise appearance at a secret peace meeting called by President Goodluck Jonathan at the Aso Rock presidential villa on Sunday night.

The two governors are Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State, Aliyu Wamakko of Sokoto State. They were both driven into the premises of First Lady Conference Hall, venue of the meeting, in the same car at about 9pm.

A source confirmed that Jonathan has been begging them not to work with his enemies...

They arrived for the meeting about an hour after one of the aggrieved PDP governors, Babangida Aliyu of Niger State, arrived the venue without his partner, Governor Sule Lamido.

The Chairman, Board of Trustees of the PDP, Chief Tony Anenih, who also arrived before them went to confer with the President inside his residence before joining them at the venue.

Jonathan and Vice-President Namadi Sambo arrived at about 9.50pm. At 10pm, some PDP governors who had earlier met at the Akwa Ibom State Governors Lodge in Asokoro arrived the venue of the meeting.

President Jonathan was said to have personally begged Kano State Governor, Kwankwaso to change his mind because it would be a disaster for him if PDP lose Rivers, Lagos and Kano in 2015.

I hear the two governors told him that they just attended the meeting out of respect and cannot take any action until they discuss with the rest of their colleagues.
