2023: Atiku’s Spokesperson Reveals What Will Happen If G-5 Support Tinubu

The spokesperson of the Atiku Abubakar presidential campaign council, Daniel Bwala on Thursday revealed what will happen if the five aggrieved governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) identified as G-5 support the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.

Bwala in reaction to the grievances of the governors said electorates won’t listen to the governors if they declare support for Tinubu.

The G-5 governors have vowed not to support the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku over the refusal of the party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, to resign from office.

The governors are not pleased with northern dominance in key positions in the party.

There had been speculations that the governors met with Tinubu in London last month, however, the outcome of the meeting has not been officially disclosed.

Bwala in a chat with Daily Independent expressed confidence that Atiku will win the presidential election.

He said, “Look at it from the point of view of Atiku and the PDP. Atiku maintained a national political party. The movement for PDP is carried out by mostly people from the South, which consists of the Yoruba people, Igbo people, South-South and then, the North.

“Only very few northerners are driving the Atiku campaign because it is a national agenda. PDP is a party that has a national spread. It is a party that produced a Yoruba president, Fulani president and South-South president.

“APC since its emergence has only produced a Fulani man. They accused him of empowering CPC members and now Asiwaju now wants to come and empower his ACN people. So, the APC is a party that is shared by just two people, Buhari and Asiwaju. The rest of the party members are nowhere to be found. So, we are not on the same level. Nobody will look at the APC and vote for them.

“One of the challenges that they have right now is that if they go supporting Tinubu, is it not the APC that Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike said was cancer they will be supporting? Remember Wike said PDP has headaches and APC has cancer.

“Even Ortom of Benue said APC brought destruction to his own people and that was why he joined PDP. So, will their people now listen to them to vote for APC? If they support Tinubu, that means they are only deceiving their people and are not fighting for equity, justice and fairness.”
