Atiku Abubakar will not be supported by five PDP governors in his quest to be the next president of Nigeria
Four of the governors have decided to pitch their tent with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the ruling APC
FCT, Abuja - Four out of five aggrieved governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), may have finally taken a position on the presidential candidate to support ahead of the 2023 general elections.
The four PDP governors are Nyesom Wike of Rivers state; Seyi Makinde of Oyo state; Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia state and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu state.
According to news the other aggrieved governor of Benue state, Samuel Ortom, may not align with the position expected to be taken by his four colleagues in the weeks to come.
The aggrieved governors who had earlier pulled out of the PDP presidential campaign, said during the week there is no going back on their demand.
Similarly, Atiku Abubakar, PDP presidential candidate, was quoted to have said in a recent interview that the party had moved on.
The report stated that barring any last-minute change, the four aforementioned governors may throw their weight behind the candidacy of the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The source who revealed further details, said Wike, Ugwuanyi and Ikpeazu, are also demanding that certain positions in Tinubu’s cabinet be ceded to their cronies if he wins.
He said though they will not resign from the PDP because of their candidates and interests, they’ll, however work for the APC from within.
