His words:
“With or without the G5 Governors, Bola Ahmed Tinubu our presidential candidate is still the leading candidate. Whether APC needs their support to win the 2023 presidential election? No!
“We don’t need their support to win the election. It’s not a need. We can do without them, they were not in APC in 2015 when APC won the presidential election.
“The G5 governors were not in APC in 2019 when APC won the presidential election but if by any means they decide to endorse our presidential candidate, it’s still a win-win for us. That’s it.”
G5 Governors' support will make the “fight” easier, says Obidike
However, Obidike said it will be a welcome development if the governors decide to pitch their tent with Tinubu and the APC.
“It’s a welcome development, it’ll make the fight easier for us. It’s indeed a plus not a minus in politics,” he said.
The APC member also noted that the G5 Governors move is good for Nigeria’s democracy.
"It’s a good one for our democracy as everybody has the right to meet or negotiate or plan ahead of 2023. After all, it is for the betterment of the entire country Nigeria," Obidike said.
Wike says G5 Governors had no deal with Tinubu
Meanwhile, the governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike, the arrowhead of the G5 Governors, has denied having any deal with Tinubu.
Wike, on his arrival with other G5 governors in Port Harcourt, the Rivers state capital, asked the media to present the evidence that he held a meeting with Tinubu.
The governor also alleged that Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had been having meetings with some APC governors.
