Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, says he and his allies are
still open to reconciliation with the leadership of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP).
Wike spoke after he met with Bala Mohammed, governor of
Bauchi.
Three other governors — Samuel Ortom of Benue, Okezie
Ikpeazu of Abia, and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu — were also at the meeting.
The governors, including Seyi Makinde of Oyo, are calling
for the resignation of Iyorchia Ayu, national chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) — a demand that has polarised the party.
The five governors have also pulled out of the PDP
presidential campaign.
“I have stated severally that we are here for
reconciliation. We have never closed the door for reconciliation. All we are
calling for is equity, fairness, and justice,” Wike said.
“In fact, that is the hallmark that PDP stands for. We have
never closed the door and we would not close the door.
“All we are saying
is, ‘look, let the right thing be done.’ If the right thing is done, the whole
country would know that the election is over.
“This G5 you are seeing is the bedrock of the party, so we
would not close the door for reconciliation; we are open for reconciliation any
day, anytime.”
Wike’s visit to his Bauchi counterpart came hours after
Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the PDP, met with Mohammed in Abuja.
The Bauchi governor had threatened to leave the PDP
presidential campaign council after accusing Bauchi politicians loyal to
Abubakar of working against his re-election bid.
