“When the dust of elections is over”: PDP NWC to punish Wike-led G-5 Govs

LEGIT NG

Emerging reports have revealed that the anti-party activities of the Governor Nyesom Wike-led G-5/integrity group will be looked into after the conclusion of the presidential elections. 

As reported by the Punch newspaper, the national working committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says punishment will be served to Governor Wike (Rivers state), Seyi Makinde (Oyo state), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu state), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia state), and Samuel Ortom (Benue state).

Over the past few months, these governors have been adamant about participating in party affairs due to the grouse they have against the national leadership of Senator Iyorchia Ayu.

The G-5 governors argued that the leadership of Senator Ayu was unjust based on the premise that he is from the same region as the party’s presidential candidate, former vice president Atiku Abubakar.

However, Senator Ayu still needs to oblige to the demand, leading to the factional activities of the G-5 governors.

This further led to all G-5 governors pitching their tent with another presidential candidate.

A member of the PDP NEC who preferred to remain anonymous said:

“At the NEC, it was nothing short of a disgrace to wake up to see governors dancing not in solidarity with their party, but with rival parties to cast aspersions on the same PDP that catapulted them to national prominence.“It’s a good thing that Ayu is focused on the elections, but we would like to see what happens after that.”
