The PDP governors stated this in a communique after its meeting in Makurdi, the Benue State capital.
The governors called for urgent devolution of powers and restructuring, stressing that it had become imperative.
The PDP chieftains warned that “Nigeria cannot afford another civil war”.

The governors observed that differences were being stretched to the limit “by a government that clearly lacks the capacity to govern”.
The meeting agreed that this has given rise to ethnic and tribal tensions, religious divisions, and various forms of social and political cleavages. The governors insisted that Nigeria is in dire need of leadership, “to avert the looming disaster”.
