He said the meeting the governors held at his residence was successful, adding that they would have to meet with his supporters and other stakeholders before defecting officially.
He said, “This is the one of a series of interactions we had over two months ago and they have come at least to convince us why we should come back to join forces with them in the PDP.
“We have listened to them, we will go back to our stakeholders’ meeting because it is the stakeholders that will decide before we will take our final decision on it.”
Mimiko and Ajayi used to be PDP members. Both of them left the party for other parties before joining the Zenith Labour Party.
