2023: I cannot be on same podium as G5 governors- Ex-Minister, Oyelese

A former Minister of Power and Steel, Elder Wole Oyelese has said he cannot be on the same podium with some governors under the umbrella of G5.
Oyelese, who is the grand patron of all support groups of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar in Oyo State, made this disclosure on Saturday.
Our correspondent gathered that the G5 governors in the PDP were in Ibadan on Thursday for the flag-off of the re-election campaign for Governor Seyi Makinde.
Oyelese explained that as a leader of the PDP who is working for the victory of Atiku in the 2023 presidential election, it would be inexcusable for him to be with G5 governors who have resolved not to work for the success of Atiku.
Oyelese said he decided not to attend the flag-off because he has decided not to be in the same podium with the five governors.
Oyelese, in a statement made available to newsmen said it would not be proper for him to be at such a gathering given the current attitude of the G5 governors to the party and its presidential candidate.
He, however, commended chieftains of the party among whom are a former Deputy Governor of the state. Hazeem Gbolarumi, Femi Babalola, Wale Adegoke, Majekodunmi Aborode, Oloye Jumoke Akinjide, Professor Abiodun Rauf, Bola Doherty and Chief Segun Oyewole for the success of the recently held freedom walk for Atiku in Ibadan.
