Any hope of the group of five governors (G5) of the leading opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) reconciling with the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, was dimmed, yesterday..

Governors Seyi Makinde of Oyo State ; Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State; Nyesom Wike of Rivers State; Samuel Ortom of Benue State and Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State at Benue State Government House in Makurdi… yesterday.• Benue road leading to Ayu’s house named after Wike• Disregard Ortom’s grandstanding, Benue will vote Atiku, says Chila• PDP demands probe on attack of Atiku’s supporters in Rivers

Ortom said: “Some people are blackmailing me for calling on Ayu to resign. Yes, because I can’t betray Governor Wike. He was the one who supported Ayu to emerge as the National Chairman. So, it would amount to betrayal if Ayu reneges on his promise and expects me to support him because he is a Benue man like me.”

The five governors, yesterday, stormed the IBB Square, Makurdi, the Benue capital, for the commissioning of some projects completed by Ortom. Ortom named a road leading to Ayu’s house as Governor Nyesom Wike Road. The road, which is behind the Commissioner’s Quarters in Makurdi, was inaugurated by former Benue governor, Gabriel Suswam.

Last night, Wike said the PDP G5 are bonded to save Nigeria and nobody can break their ranks in their continued insistence that Ayu should resign. In placatory tones, Orker-Jev re-echoed Moro’s speech, referring to the crisis as “family troubles” that would be resolved “before the elections.” Suswam also maintained: “PDP has an internal conflict resolution mechanism for sorting out itself.”

“I see more serious turbulence for PDP more than ever before. I have been silent all this while hoping that things will get better. I advise we do more than we are doing now to resolve this crisis as events in days/weeks ahead may likely get messier. I pray this advice is not ignored,” Fayose tweeted.

According to him, the Rivers governor has done enough damage to the party and should be shown the way out. He said: “Wike is a nuisance, quote me anywhere. If I were in the leadership of the party, I would have acted differently. I would have done things differently. He has done a lot of damage to the PDP and I don’t know what they are waiting for to show him the way out,” he said.

The group challenged Wike to render account of monies expended on the G5 governors and several giveaways to his loyalists across the country. Spokesman of the PCC in Rivers, Leloonu Nwibubasa, condemned the attack and called on the police to immediately commence an investigation to arrest those behind the incident. Some of Atiku’s supporters were reportedly attacked in Omuma Council on Sunday.
