Governor Tambuwal according to PM News was quoted saying:
“The five good colleagues that are in G-5…. You know, I have always been saying this: we engage in political engineering and political negotiations. It is not a war of attrition.
“I always submit that in this our business, whatever it is that you are doing , even if you try to hide it, it will come out. You cannot plan and execute a political project in your own bedroom. You must come out with it
“So, when my colleagues resolve on what to do, I think it is then that the party will now respond on whatever position they have taken.”
PDP crisis: G-5 governors demand
The G-5 governors have been at loggerheads with the PDP hierarchies after they failed to meet their demands.
The G-5 governors led by Governor Nyesom Wike with other members like Governors Okezie Ikpeazu, Samuel Ortom, Ifeanyi Uguwanyi and Seyi Makinde of Abia, Benue, Enugu and Oyo states are demanding the resignation of Senator Iyorchia Ayu, the national chairman of the PDP.
Their demand is based on the premise the chairman and the presidential candidate cannot come from the same region (north), hence, the chairmanship seat should be zoned to another region (south) to ensure equity, fairness and inclusivity in the party.
