This comes amid speculations that the five Governors, otherwise known as the G5, have struck a deal with the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, after a marathon meeting in London.
Pulse reports that the G5, which includes Wike, his Benue, Oyo, Enugu, and Abia state counterparts, Samuel Ortom, Seyi Makinde, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, and Okezie Ikpeazu, respectively, have been warring with the PDP presidential flag-bearer, Atiku Abubakar, since the conclusion of the party’s presidential convention.
Wike, who felt hard done by in the contest that produced Atiku, has maintained that the latter’s emergence as the party’s flag-bearer was a strong ground for the National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, to vacate his position in the spirit of fairness and regional balance.
