Uncertainty as Tinubu, Obi scramble for G-5 governors’ endorsement

With less than two months to the 2023 presidential election, Nigerians anxiously await the next move of the aggrieved governors under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

There were emerging speculations that the governors, led by Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, may end up throwing their weight behind Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of Labour Party.

However, feelers emerged again Wednesday that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu had met for the second time with the governors.

The meeting, held in the United Kingdom, is a further push by Tinubu to secure the endorsement of the governors.

Governor Wike and Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of his political party, PDP, have been at loggerheads after the opposition party’s primary election.

Atiku has also been accused of arrogance by Wike’s supporters who feel that the former Vice President should deploy all the resources within his reach to bring everyone that matters in the party together to be rest assured of his victory in 2023.

At this stage, the party hierarchy and its different reconciliation and peace committees seem to be running out of time with less than two months until the presidential election
