The two of them who were one time governors of Rivers and Bayelsa States disclosed this development to newsmen after a closed-door meeting with the Chairman of the Caretaker Committee at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja.

The Minister of Transport who earlier arrived at the party Secretariat around 1:15 pm left after few minutes only to return with the Chairman of the Caretaker Committee to join the Minister of State for Petroleum at about 2 pm for the closed-door meeting that lasted almost an hour.

“We have agreed that both of us will work together.”
