EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, and three of his Southern counterparts have jetted out to Spain.
The other governors including Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), and Samuel Ortom (Benue) are all of the Peoples Democratic Party.
It was gathered that the group led by the Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike, left the country for Madrid on Saturday morning in a private jet.
The G5 has been calling for the resignation of the PDP’s National Chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, as their minimum condition for peace in the party and to join the presidential campaign council of the party’s Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
The aggrieved Governors have insisted that it is unfair for the party to have the national chairman and presidential candidate from the northern extraction ahead of the poll.
Wike led the team to Spain after a live media chat in Port Harcourt where he heaped more allegations on Ayu maintaining that the national chairman lacked the integrity to lead the party’s campaign for 2023.
A top party chieftain in the state, who pleaded anonymity, confirmed the trip on Saturday.
He said, “Yes, it is true. They left for Spain early Saturday morning, but I can’t say the reason for the trip.”
