Hold emergency caucus meeting
From Fred Itua, Abuja
WORRIED by the spate of unfavourable elections tri­bunal rulings in Rivers and Akwa Ibom States respec­tively, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Senate caucus, held an emergency meeting in Abuja yesterday evening.
The meeting, Daily Sun investigations revealed is coming on the heels of a similar emergency meeting expected to hold today at the national headquarters of the PDP.
The meeting is also ex­pected to proffer solutions on how to correct per­ceived unfavourable rulings against the party.
A senator who attended the meeting, soon after yes­terday’s plenary, disclosed that opposition lawmak­ers are worried by the two recent rulings against the election of Governor Nye­som Wike of Rivers and Emmanuel Odom of Akwa Ibom.
He said senators would eventually take a position, after which the matter will be brought up on the floor of the Senate for delibera­tion.
The senator who is from the South-South geopoliti­cal zone, said the meeting was brief but added that more will follow in the coming days
