Controversies As Powerful PDP Senator Reveals How Wike, Atiku’s Rift Could End

• Shehu Sani, the former senator and governorship aspirant of the PDP, has said Nyesom Wike-led G5 governors of the PDP are heading to penalty kicks
• The former lawmaker was reacting to the latest report that the governors have a deal with another presidential candidate aside from Atiku Abubakar of the PDP, which Wike had denied
• However, Sani's post has generated some controversies as Nigerians have reacted to the post with different views

Nigerians have expressed mixed reactions following the revelation of Shehu Sani on the internal crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2023 election.

About 5 aggrieved governors of the PDP have distanced themselves from the campaign of Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the umbrella party in the 2023 election.

The governors, led by Nyesom Wike of Rivers state, are asking the national chairman of the PDP, Iyorchia Ayu, to step aside and a southerner should take over in the spirit of fairness and equity.

To press home their demands, they have made it a precondition to be part of Atiku's campaign in the 2023 presidential election.

Last week, the governors were reported to have endorsed a particular presidential candidate but they denied the claim on their return to Nigeria on Friday, December 30.

Reacting to the development, Sani, a former senator and PDP governorship aspirant in Kaduna state, took to his Twitter page and made a cryptic comment about the development.

He said:

"G-5 are just dragging the match to penalty kicks; And penalty kicks can be suicidal."

Some Nigerians also took to the comment section of the post and expressed their views.

Abriel @GOchogwu commented:

"Except if they are the faces of many influential politicians behind the scene, The G 5 should be ignored. Atiku still has more chances without them."

BEN EKEKHOR @EkekhorBen said:

"Senator Sir, its like Atiku is too confident about the penalties. His 1st problem is the selection of the 5 players that will take the penalties. While the G5 have been rehearsing for the 5 penalty kicks."
