The PDP governors, it was gathered, were concerned that the national grading of the party has not allowed them to control the party structure in their states.
It was said in the statement, “This is happening because Jonathan is losing grip of the party and allowing Mu’azu to call the shots as the leader in­stead of the other way round. If he does not call Mu’azu to order, I can assure you that he will lose the support of the governors in his presidential election. Politics is ‘rub my back, I rub yours.”

President Goodluck Jonathan, who has been expected to declare for months, ordered the set-up of presidential declaration committee saddled with the responsibility of coming up with a formal programme for his declaration.

The members determined to fix Jonathan’s declaration for November 11.
