The former Rivers State Commissioner for Information and Communications said the five aggrieved governors are at liberty to choose who to support to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
He stated, “Giving what is playing out, I think they are adults and they will be in a better position to answer that question.
“Except to say that malice may need to be proven by those who say any decision taken that does not support Atiku or any candidate for that matter is something to be seen as anti-party.
“Then, I think it will be proper to wait, go slowly and try to appreciate that position when they take that position. The rest will fall within the realms of speculation if we were to go on without clearly seeing what action they take and how they take them.”
Nwuke said Atiku may be Dino Melaye’s God but the PDP presidential candidate is not God to the five aggrieved governors, asking the former lawmaker to be concerned about more fundamental issues.
He said: “Perhaps from Dino Melaye’s perspective, Atiku will then be God. Atiku is not God. He can be Dino’s God, but he cannot be God to others; in this case, the governors. So, I don’t know how one can arrogate to an individual such extensive qualities.
“We are talking about a presidential candidate rising to the occasion, being able to sell himself. We have been seeing results from the polls carried out in this country and you will be worried that candidates are known to be upfront there to be the clear leader of those poll results.
“I think people like Dino should be worried about that, not arrogating to the candidate the powers that he doesn’t have.”
He added, “In a couple of days from now, it is obvious that the G5 will manifestly say what they want to do. I can assure you that, that will happen.”
Asked if they have agreed on the presidential candidate to support, he said meetings are being held.
