The PDP governors arrived at the decision to visit Obasanjo after an exhaustive assessment of the party’s chances in the 2015 presidential race. The meeting was held at the Akwa Ibom house in Abuja.
The former President has recently been very vocal in attacking the person and performance of President Goodluck Jonathan, rating him below average in the performance index.
While Obasanjo has publicly said he will not leave the ruling party, PDP almost all his loyalists have joined the opposition, All Progressive Congress (APC).
The presidency while countering him with a long list of achievements recorded by the Jonathan administration described the current president as the best ever in the country.
After leaving Abeokuta the governors will be in Minna the Niger State capital to confer with former Military President, General Ibrahim Babangida (rtd).
The former military ruler, who just returned from a medical trip abroad, has been very quiet on the political scene.
