2023: Wike’s Camp Denies Crack In G-5 Ranks

The camp of the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has denied speculations that there is a crack in the ranks of the governors identified as the G-5.

Members of the G-5 are Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), Samuel Ortom (Benue) and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu).

An ally of the Rivers State Governor and former member of the House of Representatives, Ogbonna Nwuke while speaking with Leadership said those suggesting that a crisis has erupted within the group were not even at the meeting.

Recall that G-5 on Monday travelled to London, the United Kingdom to strategise on the presidential candidate to support in 2023.

Nwuke, speaking on the governors’ reactions to the alleged crack, said they are knowledgeable about events and will take steps that are in the best interest of the country.

He said, “There is no crisis whatsoever among members of the G-5. Those who are suggesting a crisis are not in the meeting. We have not heard the meeting has broken up.

“What we expect is a decision and the Nigerian people are waiting for their pronouncement. That decision will come, despite what may seem like the existence of divergent views.

“The G-5 governors are knowledgeable about events, they are great patriots too and so will take steps that are in the best interest of the country.”
