While Atiku and PDP support Tambuwal to become the minority leader in the Senate, the G5 governors are against his emergence.
A PDP chieftain from the South-West region who spoke with Punch, under the condition of anonymity stated that the G-5 group would not support Tambuwal.
They cited Tambuwal’s decision to back out of the race for the PDP presidential ticket to support Atiku as a betrayal.
The source warned, “There is no way the G-5 leaders will support Tambuwal. He betrayed other PDP presidential aspirants. Instead of staying in the race for the PDP presidential ticket, backed out to support Atiku. They will never support him on this.
“I hope the PDP will back out of this mission of pushing Tambuwal as Senate Minority Leader. If they insist he is the one they want, he will lose.”
