#Nigeria: Seven Governors Including Former VP Atiku Abubakar Walk Out of PDP Convention

Seven governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have walked out of the ongoing special delegates convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), thereby deepening the crisis in the ruling party.

The governors who took what may be a final walk from the troubled party are those of Jigawa, Niger, Sokoto, Rivers, Niger, Adamawa, and Kwara.

The governors followed former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who also walked out, to the Yar'Adua Center in Abuja where they are currently addressing a press conference to detail the reasons for their storming out.

Also in the protest walk is a former chairman of the PDP, Abubakar Baraje, and some Senators.
