The Nation reports that the following governors shunned a PDP Governor's forum with President Goodluck Jonathan: Aliyu Babangida (Niger), Olusegun Mimiko (Ondo), Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Ibrahim Shema (Katsina) and Ayodele Fayose (Ekiti).

The paper reports that some of the PDP governors couldn't attend the meeting (which held yesterday) because it was on short notice.

The governors who did meet with the president were: Theodore Orji (Abia); Seriake Dickson (Bayelsa) and Liyel Imoke (Cross River), Idris Wada (Kogi); Emmanuel Uduaghan (Delta); Martin Elechi (Ebonyi); Ibrahim Dankwambo (Gombe); Murktar Yero (Kaduna); Jonah Jang (Plateau); and Sullivan Chime (Enugu).

The party has vowed not to lose any of its states in the governorship election.
