2023 Presidency: Wike Reveals Party, Candidate G5 Governors Worked For (Video)

The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has revealed the party/candidate the aggrieved Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors popularly called the G5 Governors worked for in the 2023 presidential election.

The Governor while speaking on Thursday at the commissioning of Igwuruta internal roads in the Ikwerre Local Government Area (LGA) of Rivers State openly acknowledged that the G5 did not work for the PDP and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

He said the G5/integrity group agreed among themselves that power must return to the south and they did it which he is proud to say.

Naija News recalls the G5 Governors – Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Okezie Ikepazu (Abia), Samuel Ortom (Benue), and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu) had refused to campaign for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

They insisted on the resignation of Iyorchia Ayu as the PDP national chairman and his replacement with a southerner as the only condition to support Atiku.

The aggrieved Governors however did not publicly announce another candidate they’ll support apart from Ortom who had publicly declared support for Labour Party’s Peter Obi.

But speaking on Thursday at the project commissioning in Rivers State, Governor Wike revealed that the G5 Governors agreed to work for both the Labour Party and the All Progressives Congress (APC) which both have southern presidential candidates in the persons of Peter Obi and Bola Tinubu respectively.

Wike disclosed they agreed that in their respective states that if APC comes first, Labour Party must come second and if Labour Party comes first, APC must come second.
