Do you know why Nigerians should be interested in a meeting of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governors  scheduled  for Bauchi on Monday?

Aside the fact that the PDP is the main opposition party in the country, it has undertaken to take up other issues of common interest to Nigerians in the meeting.

Even the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) had observed:

“The ongoing controversy surrounding the proceedings of the national assembly gives ample evidence of the theatre of the absurd which democratic representation has become in Nigeria.
