He said: “Seyi Makinde, our youth leader in G5, a young man who is dependable, a young man who you can trust, a young man you can go home and sleep with your two eyes closed; Seyi Makinde has done well since you gave him the mandate in 2019.

“You all know that Seyi Makinde has done well since he came in 2019 and therefore, the only way we can appreciate more and benefit more is for him to go back and complete the good work he has started.”

The governors have been absent from the campaign rallies of the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and are demanding the resignation of the National Chairman of the party, Iyorchia Ayu.

According to the governors, the demand for Ayu’s resignation is on the grounds that the party’s presidential candidate and national chairman cannot come from the same region.
