EKO HOT BLOG reports that members of the PDP G5 Governors, led by the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, have agreed to work for the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar if their fresh demands would be acceded to.
The PDP 5G governors have been at loggerheads with Atiku after Wike failed to win the party’s presidential ticket.
The crisis rocking the PDP appears to be over after the leadership of the party reached a truce with the PDP G5 governors.
The governors were also unhappy that Atiku rejected Wike as his running mate and are demanding the resignation of Iyorchia Ayu as party Chairman, allegedly to reduce the dominance of the PDP by the North.
However, indications have emerged that former military head of state, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (rtd) appears to have brought the crisis rocking the main opposition party to an end.
The parley which appeared to be fruitful saw the G5 making fresh demands.
A party chieftain, who preferred anonymity, said the G5 has agreed to work for Atiku if their fresh demands would be acceded to.
Their demands, according to the reliable source, are: “That the top government offices should be shared among the six geo-political zones;
“That the security chiefs should be shared among all the geo-political zones and that all the party’s offices in the South should move to the North and vice versa if Atiku wins.”
