Aminu Tambuwal, the governor of Sokoto State, said the party has legal channels for dealing with disloyal members amid rumours that Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike may support a particular presidential candidate in the 2023 elections.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has encountered apathy from five PDP governors who are part of the G5 or Integrity Group. These governors are Wike, Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), Samuel Ortom (Benue), Ifeanyi Uguwanyi (Enugu), and Seyi Makinde (Oyo). They contend that the northerner and PDP National Chairman Iyorchia Ayu ought to step down.
In response to claims that he and his G5 allies had discussions with Bola Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate, Wike claimed on Friday that no agreements had been reached with any presidential contender before to the election of 2018.
The Rivers governor and those who were allegedly preparing to work against the PDP’s interests received a warning from Tambuwal, nevertheless.
“The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will respond to the antics of five of its Governors currently being speculated to be in political dalliance with the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Tambuwal’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Muhammad Bello said in a statement on Friday.
“For hours before his remarks there has been reports that the G-5 PDP Governors led by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state have been meeting with Tinubu in London on the possibility of their teaming up to work for his victory in the forthcoming presidential elections.
“According to Governor Tambuwal, who is also the Director General of the Atiku/Okowa presidential campaign organization, the PDP is a law abiding party; and it would explore lawful avenues to bring any of its erring members to book.”
“It is not a war of attrition. I always submit that in this our business, whatever it is that you are doing , even if you try to hide it, it will come out. You cannot plan and execute a political project in your own bedroom. You must come out with it.
“So, when my colleagues resolve on what to do, I think it is then that the party will now respond on whatever position they have taken.”
