By: Femi Mustapha
The antics of G5 Governors currently being speculated to be in political dalliance with the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu will be addressed by the Peoples Democratic Party PDP when they have resolved on what they want to do.
This was disclosed by Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of Sokoto state when he hosted newsmen at Government House, Sokoto.
Recall that the G-5 PDP Governors led by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state have been meeting with Tinubu in London with the possibility of their teaming up to work for his victory in the forthcoming presidential elections.
Other members of the G-5 are: Governors Okezie Ikpeazu, Samuel Ortom, Ifeanyi Uguwanyi and Seyi Makinde of Abia, Benue, Enugu and Oyo states.
Governor Tambuwal, who is also the Director General of the Atiku/Okowa presidential campaign organization, said the PDP is a law abiding party; and it would explore lawful avenues to bring any of its erring members to book.
“The five good colleagues that are in G-5…. You know, I have always been saying this: we engage in political engineering and political negotiations. 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,” he said
