Fayose kicked against Mimiko's emergence as PDP Governors ’ Forum chair

A fresh crisis appears to be brewing in the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP ) as Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose has rejected Ondo State Governor Olusegun Mimiko as chairman of the party’s Governors ’ Forum.
Fayose has rallied some other governors in the party to kick against Mimiko ’s emergence .
He has petitioned the national leadership of the party to intervene before the matter degenerates into a full blown crisis .
A source at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja was quoted to have confirmed the receipt of the petition against Mimiko .
The party’s National Working Committee ( NWC ) will be meeting the party’s governors today to ironing out the matter .
The aggrieved governors were said to have protested that the choice of Mimiko did not follow due process on grounds that
Mimiko defected to the PDP only last year .
Mimiko emerged chairman of the Forum last week the governors’ meeting in Abuja, where only six of the party’s 13 governors and two deputies were present .
Former Akwa Ibom State Governor , Godswill Akpabio is the pioneer chairman of the Forum, a position he relinquished at the expiration of his tenure on May 29 .
