The governors are aggrieved with the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and the party’s national leadership.

Apart from Messrs Ortom and Wike, other members of the group include Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), and their Abia State counterpart, Okezie Ikpeazu.

The group came about after the PDP presidential primary last May, where former vice president, Atiku, defeated Wike and others to become the party’s presidential candidate.

While Wike and Makinde are believed to be supporting Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Ortom has openly endorsed Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party.
Ikpeazu is reported to have reneged and pledged his support for Atiku.
