The meeting was held on Tuesday in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
A peace held between Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike and the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party to sue for peace, has ended in a deadlock.
The meeting was held on Tuesday in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
SaharaReporters earlier reported that no fewer than seven members of the Board of Trustees of the PDP had arrived at the Government House in Port Harcourt.
The meeting was part of the ongoing efforts to resolve the crisis rocking the party ahead of the general elections.
The BoT delegation was in Rivers to win the support of Wike and his allies for the presidential candidate of the party for the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar.
Wike has been at loggerheads with Atiku and the National Chairman of the party, Iyorchia Ayu since the party's presidential primary election in May.
Wike lost to Atiku in the election and has subsequently alleged that there was a gang-up against him, involving Ayu.
Wike and some of his allies, including Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, have called on Ayu to resign from office for peace to reign, describing it as unfair for both the presidential candidate and national chairman of the party to come from Northern Nigeria.
However, the closed-door meeting which lasted about four hours ended in a deadlock.
The Acting Chairman of the PDP BoT, Senator Adolphus Wabara, who briefed journalists after the meeting, noted that though the attendees spoke frankly, no conclusion was reached.
He said, “We have not concluded. You know it is always easy to discuss. But to make peace takes some time. We are better informed. We have gotten some new information. Every coin has two sides. In concrete terms, it is work in progress.”
Meanwhile, according to Wike, he was committed to achieving peace and insisted that he would not leave the party.
“The most important thing is to have peace. The house is united. I am hopeful we will resolve the issues because I am alive.
“Only those who are alive are hopeful. We have said repeatedly that we will not leave the party. We believe the internal issues will be resolved,” he said.
