But they were all absent from the inauguration during the inauguration by the NWC.
Other governors who were present include Ifeanyi Okowa, PDP vice-presidential candidate; Darius Ishaku, governor of Taraba as well other members of the NWC.
Speaking before the inauguration, Umar Damagum, PDP national vice-chairman (North), expressed confidence that the party will win the gubernatorial election.
“We have a very popular candidate in Osun and we have no reason not to win the election,” he said.
