senatordave1:
The face-off between the five governors of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) also known as G-5, led by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and the Presidential candidate of the party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, over the refusal of its national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, to step down has polarised members of PDP in Cross River State.

Investigations reveal that if the party leadership does not move fast to resolve the crisis and goes into the 2023 elections divided, its chances of victory will be very slim.

Since PDP presidential primaries, which former Vice President Atiku Abubakar won, all has not been well with the party, as the G-5 have remained insistent that Ayu resigned for equity, fairness and justice.

This face-off is already taking its toll in the state, as its chairman Mr. Venatius Ikem and some members of his executive; the party’s governorship candidate, Senator Sandy Onor and his deputy Emana Duke; senatorial candidate in South, Ntufam Ekpo Okon; the incumbent Senator and senatorial candidate for the North, Agom Jarigbe Agom; House of Representatives member for Calabar Municipality/Odukpani Federal constituency and candidate for the party, Ntufam Eta Mbora; former governor Donald Duke; former deputy governor Mr Efiok Cobham (Onor’s campaign Director General in the South), a state lawmaker (Calabar Municipal), Mr. Efa Isua; all the state House lawmakers and almost all the House of Assembly candidates and many others have pitched their tents with G-5.

On the other side, former Governor Liyel Imoke, Cross River caucus chairman in the National Assembly, Senator Gershom Bassey; Cross River Central Senatorial candidate, Mr. Bassey Ewa; the Abi/Yakurr Federal Representatives candidate, Mr. Eko Atu; former Bakassi Local Government Council chairman, Mr. Emmanuel Etene and others have publicly expressed their support for Atiku.

Only recently, Wike donated 25 branded buses to Cross River PDP, which did not have Atiku’s pictures. The buses carry pictures and campaign messages from the governorship to House of Assembly candidates. Onor’s campaign offices in Calabar and other parts, billboards and banners by the Wike team showcasing their candidates in the state are also without Atiku and other candidates supporting him.

Similarly, in Atiku’s campaign office in Calabar, posters and banners pasted on the walls do not carry pictures of the candidates loyal to Wike.

Both sides in the state are running divided campaigns and programmes and do not speak with one voice as the usual one big family. But top party sources said candidates loyal to Wike discretely solicit for votes for themselves and Atiku since they are the ones in the 2023 race.

When the Wike camp took delivery and commissioned the 25 branded bus in Calabar in November, the group loyal to Atiku was not there. In same vein, when the Atiku’s camp performed the inauguration of Atiku/Okowa campaign council office in December, Wike camp was absent.

Observers of events in the party say this division among party members will weaken the party in the 2023 elections. The crisis caused Senator Gershom Bassey from South Senatorial District the governorship ticket. He lost to Senator Onor from Central.

Ordinarily, PDP would have leveraged on its past, as the most dominant party in the state but the defection of Governor Ben Ayade in 2020 to APC, and the current crisis may affect the party’s chances.

Imoke and Bassey had, during the inauguration ceremony of the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Office in Calabar in December warned that if Atiku failed in the presidential election, all the PDP candidates in the state contesting other positions will fail and vice versa, if he wins.

But Imoke, who is the Deputy Director (Operations) of the Atiku/Okowa National Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), spoke with certainty that the PDP family in the state is set to win all elections with the calibre of people inaugurated into the Youth and Women wings of the PCC.

At the inauguration ceremony, the Vice Presidential candidate of the party, who is the incumbent governor of Delta State, Sen. Ifeanyi Okowa and some of his South-South counterparts boasted that PDP is in-charge in the state, “PDP will win, recover, rescue and rebuild Cross River State, the South-South zone and the nation from the sinking ship of the APC,” they emphatically stated.

On his part, the Chairman of Atiku/Okowa National Presidential Campaign Council and Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, who inaugurated PDP National Youth Campaign Council and Women Wing of the Presidential Campaign Council, said the party has never lost any election in the state since the advent of democracy in1999 and 2023 will not be different, as South-South governors are united with PDP family to win again.

Speaking in the same vein, the Chairman of Cross River State Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Bassey, assured everyone that the party is already in the trenches working to win the general elections, asserting that the state has never lost any presidential election in the state because winning is a culture for the PDP family in Cross River.

He said: “APC in the state is trying to learn the game of electioneering from PDP and will never know it enough to outclass the masters. The PDP will cruise to victory and Atiku Abubakar will win Cross River State convincingly.”

Until recently, Duke, Imoke and Bassey were the three musketeers running the affairs of the state under one big umbrella.

Efforts to get the state chairman of PDP and Publicity Secretary, Mr. Mike Ojisi failed.
However, the national coordinator of Atiku/Okowa Unifier Next Door support group, Mr. Peter Ofuka, in an interview with The Guardian, said: “The 2023 race will be difficult to succeed under this circumstance because a house divided against itself can not stand. We are trying our best to see how we can get out of the troubled water. By now if not for the crisis, PDP would have done very well. A lot of people have started taking positions and many people are supporting APC because of this crisis. So, it has been a difficult task for PDP in Cross River State.”

On the chances of Atiku winning in the state, he said: “Atiku will win in Cross River but I don’t know of the governorship on how it’s going to look like, because I believe a lot of people have taken sides to support the Cross River South senatorial candidate in the state.”

Though Wike has been accused of being unnecessarily overbearing, a top PDP chieftain in Calabar, Mr. Moses Oko, rose in his defence, saying the Rivers State governor has done nothing wrong, rather he should be honoured for standing for truth and justice.
“I am very certain that the crisis will not effect us in the state. What happens at the higher level may not happen at the lower level in the sense that at the higher level, it is too remarkable but here, we are closely knit. I am for Sandy Onor and he will win.”

Amid the crisis, another PDP chieftain and a former commissioner in the state, Rev. Grace Ekanem, said: “Anywhere the house is divided, you know there is a problem, so, they have to sort themselves out if they want to succeed else they will fail at the national level. If they are sensible they should sort themselves out. A divided house cannot stand. Let them forget about their ego and sort out things. For the party to succeed, they must be united.”

Also, the former lawmaker for Calabar Municipality/Odukpani Federal Constituency of Cross River State, Mrs. Nkoyo Toyo, said: “It is true that the party is divided, but between its rank and file every member wants the party to win and return to governance.

Toyo said that it is dangerous for the PDP to go into the 2023 elections divided, warning: “Today, access to power and all the instruments to power are in the hands of APC and it is competing against PDP. For me, to put it mildly, it will be fool hardy to think that we in PDP as a whole to think that we can face this election, first as opposition, second without the resources of the state, as well as the support of the state organs and institutions that hitherto we used to have and then decide that it is okay for us to split ourselves in the middle.

“I think there is sense in which some candidates owe their success to Wike, I can name them, Jarigbe in the North, Sandy Onor as governorship candidate, and by extension, few other persons here in the South got their tickets courtesy of that arrangement. Wike has been the source of funding for them.

“In the absence of other funding sources that are dedicated to their elections, they have to be careful about which direction they take their anger and concerns to. Like we say in politics, one day is a very long time as so many things can change in one day. If you go beyond these persons that have had direct contact with Wike on the basis of their candidacy, you would hardly find anybody that is split between Wike and Atiku.

“So, this crisis we are dealing with is an artificial construct because we in the PDP are not in doubt as to how we would win this election. We know for certain that if for example, Atiku wins the first election, the bandwagon effect of his victory would be such that in two weeks, a lot of states would begin to support on their own.

“For anyone to come in the middle or less than quarter to the election, saying that there is such a friction between us to the extent that we cannot come together will be stretching the argument too far. I may be wrong about this but to my own understanding so far, Wike has been the source of support for certain persons in this election and it is only natural for them to stay loyal.

“If you watch their election campaign pattern, they have been quiet on the candidacy of Atiku and not to propagate the candidacy of any other person. And the hope is that at some material time, some wisdom or revelation will come on everybody and make us realise that it is more important that we unite and win this election.”

Reacting to allegations that the Wike group may give their support for the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, Nkoyo said: “They cannot do that. It is totally impossible and a figment of the person’s imagination because how would they do it?”

Wike, continue to press their neck

senatordave1:
You are from gboko

From anyii(suswam villa) but gboko based

Tk4all:
I give up already. Na waoh!

Who is Ayu in benue state? That is in charge of pdp? Underestimate ortom at your own risk.

For the last time, any presidential candidate that ortom support will win benue. But as it stands, pdp will take benue closely followed by lp. Remember how i once beg you to stay in tinubu camp rather than joining atiku, it means i don't like an atiku presidency but it is what it is

Hahaha ortom that can't win his senatorial election?
Don't be deceived bro

senatordave1:
I am not sure of suswan commitment.I've always suspected david mark and hus loyalty to gej.anyway, lp or onjeh will win soutb

Both zone A and B will be split between APC and PDP
Zone c will determine who wins

senatordave1:
No na,zone A is made up of Sankara and jechira,zone B has minda and jembagh

true

senatordave1:
Before the elections in 2015,two tivs girls I was close to told me that they have decided to vote out suswan party..
Sorry which one is minda and jembagh axis

Na Sankara side

senatordave1:
No,it is shared na between ortom,suswan and mark.ayu draws strength from being chair

Both Ayu, suswam and mark are working together for Atiku

senatordave1:
No wonder I hardly hear lp noise from benue

Everywhere don quiet
Dem don face real challenge
Something been happen this last December and Tiv people talk something
Na why you no dey hear noise again

Tk4all:
What to you mean by pdp is running a reverse campaign against obi?

Politicians are not straight forward, if not, i would have say pdp is working for obi in benue state now. If you are around like you claim, what is stopping ortom from giving the directives for all pdp members and contestants to support obi is two senators who are insisting that he should be neutrat. If not, ortom for don declare for obi since.

Ortom is not in control of the structure here, Ayu is in charge of PDP in Benue

Tk4all:
How much are they paying you for all this misinformation sef!

I now believe you are not staying in Benue state. How can you suggest ortom working for APC?

Let me tell you, even fr Alia may loose the governorship election if he continue to carry apc for head. There are also some few heavy weight politicians who are in lp now and the youths are fully in lp.

As a person on ground, i boldly say the fight for who wins presidential election is between pdp and lp.

Apc is not gonna win shiit here.

Na to read dey hard you or you just want talk
Where I talk say Ortom dey work for APC

bamvik:
Well I won't be surprised because tinubu has been doing alot of work there to get enough votes .the total voting population of the entire north is 49m while that of the entire south is 44m. Lp and pdp just dey dull as regard northern region

What is also working for Tinubu is the governors

Those guys are taking the election like theirs

donphilopus:
Most of them have forgotten Atiku narrowly defeated Buhari in Benue in 2019. With Obi getting some votes now, APC may likely win there this time.

May?
"Will" will be appropriate

Moh247:
APC is winning NorthCentral and NorthEast

Make I shock you
APC is winning the entire north
Take this to the bank.

donphilopus:
I understand bro. If the PDP is campaigning against Obi, there's no way it'd favour another Fulani in Benue. And with Revd Father in the race, it'd likely favour Tinubu.

Though PDP is still in the game, obidient don't have any say in zone A and zone B, they will have their votes but it won't be more than 20k

donphilopus:
I hope those who have been saying Yahaha Bello isn't with Tinubu can see his deputy, Edward Onoja there!

The number of obidient has dropped drastically here

PDP is running a reverse campaign against obi in Benue but its favoring APC Instead
I prefer not to say what's going on here for now

abc115:
Benue State Totally Shut Down for Rev Alia and Tinubu

Just a rally here in gboko
Na yesterday that one happen

PDP held a counter rally and nobody go there

NwaMamaIwota:
do you know that Tinubu is a bastard drug dealing vagabond ?

unless you are being a hypocrite you should judge yourself with this picture.
Same man is contesting for what he don't believe in.

With no conviction, its all a lie.
I have seen report where it is started that Obi is a drug lord too, what says you about that?
Let's see who's the hypocrite here

ItsTutsi:
Sai Tinubu

That first picture
See buhari smile

Another one
Rasford

Goal

Rashford

President Ahmed Bola Tinubu, GCFR

NwaMamaIwota:
you're confused
bound by your hate for igbos
Goodness Kyase pity your Benue people because their blood is on your head for supporting Apc

I don't hate Igbos, na Igbo man be my destiny helper sef
Only have problem with the same people supporting ipob Years back but now telling us on how to love our country

CheedyJ:
Very talented and raw baller. United has themselves a prodigy and I pray they manage him cos he's still has a lot to learn.

Ten Hag is doing just that
The boy is good

frankson1:
Garnacho should learn to be a team player.
I like his boldness which is very good for his development.

How did you miss Elanga and mention Anthony

Elanga is a lost cause

Garnacho will learn.
He's still young

Anthony
