Addressing journalists shortly after the meeting, an excited Gov Fintiri said, “We’ve just come out of our critical stakeholders’ meeting where a lot of elaborate decisions were taken.

“I want to tell you here that we are going to Ibadan for our convention, and the convention is sacrosanct.”

Efforts to get further comments from him on the state of the party failed as his security aides quickly led him away.
