Members of the G-5, the aggrieved governors in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) met on Monday night ahead of the mega rally of the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Lagos today.
Gatekeepers News reports that the G-5 governors; NYESOM WIKE (RIVERS), SEYI MAKINDE (OYO), SAMUEL ORTOM (BENUE), OKEZIE IKPEAZU (ABIA) AND IFEANYI UGWUANYI (ENUGU), reportedly met at the George Lagos Hotel, Ikoyi, Lagos.
The five governors have been clamouring for the resignation of the PDP National Chairman, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, shortly after the party’s presidential ticket was won by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who is from the North.
Meanwhile, the Senate Chief Whip, Orji Kalu, on Monday also disclosed that some aggrieved Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors that make up the G5 or Integrity Group will support the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, in Saturday’s election.
Kalu, while speaking on Channels Television’s The 2023 Verdict on Monday night, said, “Tinubu is well-liked by the North and is from the South-West and is going to get a [sizable] vote in Imo, Ebonyi, Abia, Anambra, and Enugu. And he’s going to have the support of Governor Wike of Rivers State, so we’re on track.”
“My governor here, Okezie Ikepazu, will also support Tinubu. My senatorial district is going to give Tinubu the vote. The puncher to give the 34, 35 percent to be on the ballot.”
The former Abia governor added that “the G5 governors are also going to be a very big factor.”
