A former information minister, member of the PDP Board of Trustees and North Central Coordinator of the Wike Presidential Campaign, Prof. Jerry Gana, who spoke briefly after the meeting said: “This is the first meeting we are holding with all our candidates in the states after the primaries. We are united. We are one. We know that developments will unfold, and when they do, we shall brief Nigerians.”
