PDP Crisis: G-5 govs to officially announce its presidential candidate in Ibadan
The G-5 governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are on the brink of announcing the presidential candidate they will support at the forthcoming general elections in 2023. As reported by the Punch newspaper, the quintet is expected to reveal their candidate on Thursday, January 5.
It was further revealed that the quintet which consists of Governor Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), Samuel Ortom (Benue), and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu states will be considering Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party who was formerly a member of the PDP.
This leaves the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar on a slippery as he will not be getting the support of the quintet who has been at loggerheads over the imbalance in the leadership of the party.
