The Elders of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), in Rivers State, have met the Governor of the state, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, in closed doors over peace.

The meeting is not unconnected with the move by some lawmakers in the State House of Assembly to impeach the governor of the state, which led to the burning of the hallowed chambers of the assembly.
