Ahead of the election, Wike and 4 other governors of the PDP, known as G5 or Integrity Group, vowed not to take part in the presidential campaign of Atiku of his failure to respect the zoning formula as contained in the party's constitution.
The governors demanded Ayu's resignation to pave way for the southern leadership of the party in the name of equity and fairness to the southern bloc of the PDP.
The G5 Governors' demand was the precondition for them to support Atiku's ambition, but the former vice president ruled out Ayu's resignation.
