Mr. Secondus said he had earlier met with the aggrieved members and pleaded with them not to resign, but it appeared they already had their minds made up.

Governor Nyesom Wike is in attendance at the meeting despite not being a member of the board of trustees, but it is believed that his influence within the party is desperately sought after to help calm frayed nerves and stabilise the party.
