At the end of the meeting, Shuaibu walked with Akume to the latter’s car. The former Governor was silent on what had been discussed.
Speaking, Shuaibu who was mandated by the party to deal with the situation, said the party was eager to ensure reconciliation.
The peace meeting was called invitation following Ortom’s announcement that he is no longer with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ortom made the declaration at the banquet hall of the Government House in Makurdi, the state capital on Monday.
He spoke while swearing in the newly appointed Special Adviser on Local Government and Cheftaincy Affairs, Jerome Torshimbe.
