The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) G5 Governors appear to have been divided over who to support in the February 25 presidential election between Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party(LP).

Governors Nyesom Wike (Rivers State), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Samuel Ortom (Benue), Ifeanyi Ugwuayi (Enugu) and Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia) are not with their party’s flagbearer, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar on account of the refusal of the PDP national chairman, Dr.Iyorchia Ayu to quit his office despite promising to leave in the event of the emergence of a northerner as a presidential candidate.

The governors had vowed not to campaign for Atiku, hinting that they would reveal the presidential candidate they would support, few weeks to the February 25 presidential poll

Although the five governors have agreed among themselves to support a presidential candidate from the South, they are, however divided over who support between the two leading candidates from the South.

While Wike is said to be leaning towards Tinubu, Ortom and Makinde have indicated their preference for Obi.

Confirming this development, the immediate past Deputy National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Diran Odeyemi said Makinde may have a soft spot for Obi but expressed doubts that he would ever make his stand public.

“A lot of political games are going on. In Oyo State, the deputy governor, Bayo Lawal, has been attending events of the Atiku campaign organisation even though his boss is a member of G-5.

“Seyi (Makinde) is not ready to lose his re-election bid and is therefore keeping his choice close to his chest. He may have instructed his foot soldiers on what to do but he would be wise enough to go with the crowd in the end.

There are, however, strong indications that Obi may be favoured by the group.

To arrive at a consensus and fashion a strategy for the 2023 presidential election, the five governors on Monday travelled to London in continuation of their meeting.

With the governors trip to London, the meeting between the Director General of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) and governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal and Ortom could not hold.

But, why London again and again? Please, help a village boy.

Governor or no governor, on Obi's mandate we stand gidigba. The power to make the right change is in the hands of the poor masses.

If you are jobless, you are queueing to get fuel, you are afraid to travel for security reasons, you cannot buy things due to inflation, you planning to japa from your fatherland and you still want to vote certain candidates because of who a governor is supporting, then you need a brain check.

Go get your PVC they are distributing now and VOTE WISELY. If a small country like Sudan can free themselves, then why can't we? Many countries poor masses have sacrificed their lives to free themselves. Our time is now. Ignore paid people stoking tribal tensions. They are selfish people after their pockets. Suffering does not know any tribe.

Atiku should count this period as his worst, all these G-5 could have been campaigning for him now if not for his selfish and bigoted life
Why can’t you stick to agreement and lay off Ayu? You refused because you have started nepotism even when you are yet to be elected.
You are from the north, Ayu is from the north. Why can’t you practice an inclusive culture, why not divide the work
You won the primaries, let the party chairman come from the south, you refused. Now a whole 5 governors are working against you. Atiku and TINUBU are just wicked greedy and selfish politicians

Obi can’t behave this way
May God give us Obi

Obi is the people's choice. The Governors should queue in immediately, let's rescue the country.

I still wonder why the politicians always prefer London over Nigeria

Good news.
Atiku, please concentrate on the North.
Let them be splitting themselves down South.

I will never understand why london
It could be about slave mentality true to words .
Otherwise why spend public funds in such a manner and then gather again to talk about climate change .

After destroying Nigeria, those cowards will run to London for meetings.

Have you ever seen state governors in America coming to Nigeria to hold meetings? Cowards.

Once Obi becomes president, Nigerian politicians must be banned from going abroad for medications or meetings

You mean these governors are using their state money to fund these personal travels to London? Why thunder no go just faya these idiots.

Makinde new deputy governor is attending Atiku campaign mean Makinde will support Atiku, his deputy can not be attending Atiku campaign if Makinde didn't give him go ahead Makinde will never support obi cuz he stand to gain nothing by supporting a failed project

trash

Na G5 sabi
But wike must allow Atiku to campaign freely in Rivers State.

Why do African rulers waste resources?

How relevant are the g5 states even if they align with atiku? The eastern states would route for obi, Oyo for tinubu or who ever but surely not atiku and Ortom knows he can never win any election in Benue himself not to talk of campaigning for another they are just their exist from power

You don’t understand the game.

The G-5 are never going to support Atiku whether Atiku steps down or not.

They are asking Ayu to step down so that they can get a better grip of the party and mess Atiku up from the inside.

Atiku and Ayu and other northerners in PDP know what Wike and his men wanna do, and that’s why they don’t want to let Ayu go; because it was the same game they played against Jonathan.

Or what?

All Emilokans Urchins connected to one source of (bullion van) current.

I am sure they will support Tinubu but at the end, they will all be disgraced.

Atiku 2023.

He will remain a threat to our democracy.

was there equity when wike an Ikwere man succeeded Amechi another Ikwere man, wike is not God, he is a bully, if Atiku has used him as a vice, will he tell ayu to go. He can't decide Atikus fate, as he couldn't decide his own fate, if he is soo powerful why didn't he win the primary

Any of the G5 that supports Thïefnubu is a goner.

His political career will be dead and buried.

They should all pitch their tent with Obi for their own good.

Obi is the people's Choice.
