The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
appears to be over after the leadership of the party reached a truce with the
PDP G5 governors.
Members of the PDP G5 Governors, led by the Governor of
Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, have been at loggerheads with Atiku, after Wike
failed to win the party’s presidential ticket.
Other members of the G5 are: Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo
State, Samuel Ortom of Benue State, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, and Ifeanyi
Ugwuanyi of Enugu State.
The G5 were also unhappy that Atiku rejected Wike as running
mate and are demanding the resignation of Iyorchia Ayu as party Chairman,
allegedly to reduce dominance of the PDP by the North.
However, indications have emerged that former military head
of state, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (rtd) appears to have brought the
crisis rocking the main opposition party to an end.
The parley which appeared to be fruitful saw the G5 making
fresh demands.
A party chieftain, who preferred anonymity, said the G5 have
agreed to work for the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar, if
their fresh demands would be acceded to.
Their demands, according to to the reliable source, are:
“That the top government offices should be shared among the six geo-political
zones;
“That the security chiefs should be shared among all the
geo-political zones and that all the party’s offices in the South should move
to the North and vice versa if Atiku wins.”
