PDP Crisis: Shehu Sani Takes Swipe At G5 Govs Over ‘Lack Of Unity’

  • Shehu Sani has mocked members of the G5 governors for failing to endorse the same candidate.
  • The governors are aggrieved with the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and the party’s national leadership.

  • Shehu Sani said, “the G5 Governors wore uniform attire for seven months in London, Madrid and Paris but couldn’t agree on a uniform candidate”.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that members of the G5 governors have been ridiculed by former lawmaker Senator Shehu Sani for their inability to reach a consensus on a candidate to endorse.

Nyesom Wike, along with Samuel Ortom, is spearheading the G5, a coalition of disgruntled governors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

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.
