Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang hosted the PDP governors with party executives and other stakeholders in attendance.

The Chairman of the Forum and Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, who read out the points, empathised with the masses over the current economic crunch.

“The forum expresses empathy for Nigerians suffering from economic difficulties and calls for a review of federal government’s policies to improve citizens’ welfare,” he said.

The PDP governors also addressed issues confronting the party’s unity and called for more collaboration among members.
