The PDP Governors’ Forum was established on February 24, 2013 under the tenure of ex-President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan to facilitate sharing of insights and experiences among governors towards advancing the party’s agenda as well as better alignment of their states’ programmes and policies.
On Tuesday night, the host governor, Dr. Mbah hosted a cultural event to honor the visiting governors who were already in attendance.
