Two governors from the South-East, one from the South-West, and one from the South-South, according to the source who spoke with Daily Post, are promoting Tinubu’s candidacy.
The source, who wished to remain anonymous, claimed that the governors’ conduct was motivated by personal interests.
While one of the governors is running for reelection, he claimed that others are looking for a soft landing.
Remember how Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State, and his group complained about how Northerners dominated the party leadership
Symbol NewsAlert learned that the PDP’s constitution provides for a North-South presidential election rotation.
This opened the door for Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president, to win the party’s nomination for president in the 2023 elections.
Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State and the convention’s runner-up to Atiku, had a protracted conflict with the party’s leadership.
Wike, who was enraged, attributed his defeat to religion, the party’s leadership, particularly the national chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, and the governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, whose abrupt decision to step down for Atiku, in his opinion, tipped the balance in Atiku’s favor during the presidential primary.
As a result of the situation, the Wike camp has demanded Iyorchia Ayu’s resignation as PDP national chairman.
Ayu will not be leaving office any time soon, according to Atiku Abubakar’s camp, the party’s nominee for president.
Governor Wike, Samuel Ortom of Benue State, Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, and Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State met with Tinubu in London as a result of the back and forth.
The former governor of Lagos State and the administration of Governor Wike talked about potential collaboration.
