Some of the governors are part of a different PDP faction.
President Goodluck Jonathan held a closed-door meeting at the Presidential Villa on Sunday night with 16 Governors of the People Democratic Party (PDP).
The meeting is believed to be focussed on the crisis in the PDP that has led to the split of the party into two factions.
Some of the attendees are governors that belong to a new faction of the PDP announced on Saturday to be led by Kawu Baraje.
Sunday’s meeting kicked off at about 9.20 p.m. at the conference room of the First Lady’s residence.
