Senate President Godswill Akpabio has urged former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike and his four other friends in the G5 to come up with another aggrieved group within opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to make winning the 2027 presidential election a smooth ride for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Akpabio, a former Akwa Ibom State governor, spoke on Sunday at a thanksgiving reception held at Wike’s private residence on Ada-George Road, in his hometown, Rumueprikom in the Obio-Akpor Local Government Area of the oil-rich South-South state.

“I want to thank you for all your efforts to bring justice to Nigeria,” Akpabio told Wike who backed the return of power to Southern Nigeria and supported APC’s candidate, Bola Tinubu against his party’s choice, Atiku Abubakar in the 2023 presidential election.

“And I want to thank the G5 Governors,” the Senate President said whilst addressing the G5 or the Integrity Group made up of five major aggrieved politicians within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who kicked against the emergence of Abubakar in the last February 25 poll.

“We are very delighted, we are proud to have G5. Please, ensure that in 2027, another G5 emerges so that APC will continue to do well in this country. And if you like, you can add two more, make it G7 and not only G5,” Akpabio added.

‘I Predicted Makinde Will Be A Governor’

Addressing Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, who is also one of the G5 members, Akpabio said, “Your Excellency (Governor) Makinde, you know I predicted that you are going to be a governor when I met you with the late Alaafin, may his soul rest in peace. I just saw the way you were walking and I said, ‘This man walks like a governor.’ I wasn’t surprised when you became a governor.”

All members of the G5 including Wike, Makinde and former Governors Samuel Ortom (Benue), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia) and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu) were seated at the event.

Another member of the Integrity Group and former Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose; as well as Acting PDP Chairman, Umar Damagum; former Governors Peter Odili (Rivers), Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano) and James Ibori (Delta) were in attendance.

President Bola Tinubu was represented by Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu. Serving Governors Siminalayi Fubara (Rivers), Caleb Mutfwang (Plateau), joined the long list of Very Important Personalities at the event which was a Mecca of sorts with high-ranking APC stalwarts and members of the 10th National Assembly including Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, ex-Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole; ex-Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi; member representing Borno South Senatorial District, Ali Ndume; amongst others.

G5 Romance With APC

Many believed the G5 whittled the chances of Abubakar in the last presidential election as the G5 had insisted on Rotational Presidency after the eight-year administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, a former military head of state from Katsina State in North-West Nigeria whose two-term tenure as democratically elected President ended on May 29, 2023.

At the PDP primary last year before the 2023 general elections, the G5 couldn’t stop Abubakar, another northerner from Adamawa State from getting the party’s golden ticket. The group thereafter demanded that Iyorchia Ayu (another northerner from Benue State) stepped down for a southern replacement as PDP national chairman but both Atiku and Ayu called the bluff of the G5.

For the presidential election, Abubakar lost in all the G5 states and while Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi won in Enugu and Abia, Tinubu raked in Oyo, Benue and Rivers.

Tinubu, 70, came out tops in 12 of Nigeria’s 36 states, and secured significant numbers in several other states to claim the highest number of votes — 8,794,726, almost two million votes more than his closest rival, Abubakar.

Abubakar, 76, who has now run for president six times, got 6,984,520 votes, while Obi, who, in less than a year, galvanised young voters in a manner some have described as unprecedented finished the race with 6,101,533.

On June 8, the G5 visited President Tinubu at Aso Villa in Abuja.

Instead of building alliances with the west and northern voters, Peter Obi can keep calling, slandering and libeling the North as poor on twitter and his supporters can also keep up with the Nzogbu Nzogbu cancelling culture, they should keep insulting and engaging in Anti-Southwest campaign. So that it will be easier for Tinubu to sweep the entire West and Northern votes in 2027.

Obi-dents comman drink water.

2027 is a walkover already!

APC has to only encourage Peter to contest. Once he does, it’s GAMEOVER!

Wike is sowing a seed that will undo his political ambition in the future.

He’s being praised for dismantling PDP’s presidential chance in 2023, the future and time are gentlemen.

Harvest will surely come.

With Atiku or not until PDP carry wike as their presidential candidate something like G5 won’t leave our political space wike made PDP so without him and Rivers money PDP is going to oblivion

Akpabio dropped a bombshell 🤣🤣

Power is transient, Wike forget that. I won’t say much here

Are you Peter Obi?…no!. Alliance of corruption is non of your business. Face front .
Keep wasting your time instead of focusing on your life.

Ok

Avenue for the losers to cry

Haba

This is a clinical jab ,..



Capable of knocking some ounces of liquor out of the recipient's body mass.. and affording him like a minute or two of brief consciousness and some sober reflections

Lovers?

Wike will soon lament.

Ask orji kalu

What does this post have to do with Obi?

You should be worried about your family and your future. You people will just wake up and start a campaign and still try to bring Igbos and Obi inside. Which one is anti-southwest again?


Wike just buried his presidential ambition because power must return to the North after the South

We will not subscribe untill you stop talking into the video with your annoying Voice.

Steady G

Make una dey arrange Next election down.. make una free WIKE, o ti je lo, baba yin ni

Lol just do yr work let people feel it u won't even need any alliance...

These politicians are just after themselves.

Imagine..

G5 indeed.

Behold! I sight Ortom. The most useless governor ever in the history of Nigeria.

So wike has turned to an errand boy

“We are very delighted, we are proud to have G5. Please, ensure that in 2027, another G5 emerges so that APC will continue to do well in this country. And if you like, you can add two more, make it G7 and not only G5,” Akpabio added.

Lol. The add 2 more funny me ehh!

I’m kinda glad that after tinubu, we’ll still have some southern politicians with good force!

Yours is an alliance of insults and foolishness. You will always end up with the fame results: weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Wike appears to be more powerful than the party.

He has been involved in so many anti party activities.

The party is indeed in a big mess.
