2023: ‘vote PDP For Governorship, State, National Assembly But For Presidential

The governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike, has said that his counterpart from Oyo state, Seyi Makinde, will tell the residents of the state the presidential candidate to vote for in the forthcoming general election soon.

Wike, who is one of the aggrieved PDP governors, also known as G5, made this known in Ibadan, Oyo state capital, on Thursday, January 5.

The G5, on Thursday, arrived at the ancient Mapo hall in Ibadan, to flag off the re-election campaign of one of their members, Seyi Makinde.

Other members of the G5 include Abia state governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, Benue state governor, Samuel Ortom, and Enugu state governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.

Wike urged the residents of the state to cast their votes for all candidates vying for various seats in the 2023 general elections under the platform of the party, The Vanguard reports.

He described Governor Makinde as someone who believes in fairness, equity and justice, and has done well to deserve a second term in office.

Wike said that, “Governor Seyi Makinde has done well, the only way is for him to go back to complete the good work that he has started.

“During the gubernatorial election, vote for Governor Seyi Makinde. Also, vote for all PDP candidates vying for governorship, senate and house of assembly seats.

“But concerning the other one (presidential poll), Seyi Makinde will tell you soon.

“We believe in justice, fairness, honesty and equity, hence our reason for urging you to support the just governor God has given you in Oyo state.

“Makinde has done well since 2019 and the only way we can appreciate him is to return him to government to enable him complete the good works which he has started,” he added.

In addition, other members of the G5 in their separate remarks at the programme, thanked members of the party for their unflinching support for Governor Makinde.

They also described Makinde as a vibrant leader who has what it takes to move the state to enviable heights.

Recall that since the emergence of former vice-president, Abubakar Atiku, as PDP presidential candidate, there have been intensified moves by some aggrieved governors of the party, known as G5, for Ayu’s replacement by a candidate from the south.

They argued that the party’s flag bearer for the 2023 presidential poll, and the national chairman, cannot come from the same geo-political zone.

The aggrieved governors also stated that they want Ayu to be replaced by a candidate from the south for the purpose of equity and political balance.
