Chief Bode George, the former deputy national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has cautioned the former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State and other G5 members not to leave the PDP.
The PDP spoke on the background of the rumour that the aggrieved G5 members may be joining the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general election.

He said the complaints by Adamu are a testament that there is no political party without its cracks and that they should rather wait in the PDP and resolve issues among members rather than join the APC.
Since President Tinubu resumed office on May 29, former governor Wike has been reported to have visited the Presidential Villa more than two times.
APC group wants Wike to be President Tinubu's minister
Some APC group recently tipped him that he should be nominated as minister from Rivers State because he supported President Tinubu during the February 28 presidential election.
Ahead of the presidential election, Wike and other G5 governors withdraw their support for the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, over his failure to support the call for restructuring in the party's hierarchy.
