The widening gulf has now pitted six PDP governors, predominantly from the South, against Atiku’s presidential bid.

The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party appears far from over ahead of the constitution of the campaign organisation of its presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

The source listed some of the governors as Nyesom Wike of Rivers State; Samuel Ortom of Benue State; Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State; Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, Ishaku Darius of Taraba and Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, as governors unwilling to support Atiku’s bid. “This is a man who has built the party today in PDP. He has fought all night and all day to see that this party remains together. So, he would have been reached out to, to say that this is the decision we are taking and this is the reason we are taking this decision, and I think he would have understood.”The source said leaders of the party had agreed to zone the chairmanship of the PDP to the North, while the South, like the All Progressives Congress , would produce the presidential candidate.

“When it was obvious that Ayu wasn’t ready to listen and zone the presidential ticket to the South, governors and other leaders decided to leave the contest open. But they agreed to support a Southern aspirant, but people like Okowa, Godwin Obaseki of Edo State and other people, especially from the South-South, started working to ensure that a Northern candidate emerged,” he narrated.

snake_oil you will be right only if Tinubu steal the result as he usually do, where people's votes mean nothing to those who think it is their turn to rape Nigeria economy and continue to drag us backwards

IS A WELCOME DEVELOPMENT 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Is for the good of OBEDIENTNIGERIAN

Just get ur p.v.c

They want to be president of Nigeria, atiku,Okowa, Tinubu kwankwaso all of them want to be president but they don't have secondary school WAEC certificates. What a shame? A blind people ruling Nigeria by force.

They are all welcome to Official_LPN and become Obidients

Let us pray for peace as the election is closed by. May any of our siblings not be a victim unforeseen circumstances. The way election is being conducted or practiced in our so called Nigeria is not encouraging. We practice what I call PROSTITUTION in our day to day politics.

Peter Obi is a social media president

if they mention peter obi as presidential candidate I feel like seeing him as someone who is in Benin republic trying to contest Nigeria presidency, anyway he is trying to laid foundation for future purposes.

NaughtyBoss_ 👀

Sarahra big lier

The northern politicians are playing the same game that most people are yet to discover. They have a hidden agenda. Northerners as the PDP chairman and as the presidential candidate. APC too have northerner as its chairman and tried all means to impose Lawan (northerner) on us!

All manner of politicking we would see. The political atmosphere is quite cloudy right now. Hopefully, it would get clearer as the game goes on. Let keep our fingers cross.

They will be the looser if they are moving against the presidential candidate. Where will they pot after leaving the party Mtcheeew kikikikiki. You kill the party you kill yourself and political career. Simple.

Family business, no put mouth oooo

Peter Obi has already won. We are talking about preparation for his inauguration.

Don't talk about Obi in this race. Who knows him? Person of no political structure. Talking about him is like taking the whole process backward.

Because there's no structure

Good for democracy

Good moves. Let them know its time for Mr Peter Obi to rule Nigeria

11 million votes in the mud. It used to be in someone's kitty.

Karma is at work. What ATIKU sowed is what ATIKU will get. His 2023 Presidential ambition is dead on arrival. This is a man who calls himself a “Unifier” but can’t even unify his own party. What a con artist!!

Nothing will make Wike not to show his grievances. What Amaechi did to PDP in 2015 is what Wike will do in 2023. PDP is gone. Screenshot this tweet.

There are enemy of Nigeria because they believe let share the cake like former senator from Kwara state, but want to enslave Nigeria saying he have no chance, who have chance Ole, drugs peddlers or who help his people. The chose is yours

List them.

.......

This is clear evidence that Atiku is a candidate for the Northern APC governors.

He is reaping what he once did to pdp. How can he say pdp is beyond redemption in 2015 and still want to run under the same party he castigated.

This is the consequence of not following your own constitution and age old convention on zoning. There is no justice nor equity in this party! All they know is dollars!!!!! Why will a President who wants to serve spend $10M to buy delegates

iykimo This is what happens when the flag bearer position. Is determined by the highest bidder ($$$$)!!! So happy Peter Obi left the cesspool of corruption. PeterObiForPresident2023

Ok

It's a fake news ok

Yoruba said, na fire pinkin we dey send to fire!!! You gerrrit....?

Do they have the chance?

Who is taken that social club seriously? bunch of irrelevant creatures

May thy Lord never answer the prayers of your enemy

Congratulations in advance

This is exactly what northern PDP governors, supported by Atiku did to GEJ in 2015.🤔

I can see everything turning around for our good. PO is coming

For peace to reign in d PDP,Atiku Abubakar, d Presidential Candidate of d PDP,together with d NEC/NWC of d PDP,shld without further ado, compel Iyorchia Agu to resign as d Chairman of d PDP& a Southern announced to replace him.If Ayu insists on retaining d Chair he shld be blamed

Gbam Agenda please

Who’s still talking about PDP

He definitely will and it’s good

Its better they collapse their structure for Obi.

Confusion, I love this More of it.

They wouldn't. They are just blabbing and blackmailing. They have taken bloo'd oath with PDP and wouldn't do nothing to jeopardize their chance at returning to looting spree.

They caused their downfall by not following to the constitution, stating that it's Zoning!, but they chose this part!!. They should continue leaking their wound... Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is not destined to be president!.👌

The fact that we can't vote Tinubu does not make Atiku an option!

He can be President for the South East!

Peter Obi has zero chance. Mark my words.

Great Oracle Sir AbdulMahmud01, the Obi-dome is coming together little by little.

Good News

The old umbrella and d broom are no longer relevant in d presidency of Nigeria come 2023. It is high time to vote for d real Nigerian,PeterObi4President2023

It's PO-ssible.

I've said this immediately after the primaries, Atiku was deceived by the votes he got in 2019. Nigerians were just tired of Buhari's government, not like we liked Atiku. This election is between Peter Obi and Tinubu... Atiku should seek forgiveness from PDP and merge with Obi.

They should join Obi.

This presidency is between Obi and Tinubu

Good move

Good news thou

2023

Daddy Unifier is away in Dubai enjoying himself while his party is hotting up. How many governors does PDP have that five would refuse to work for the party's presidential candidate? There is fire on the mountain for them. A big plus to Peter Obi's aspiration, anyways.

They should continue, much better for us

When Paul Eneche was speaking about who said someone from SE can't be president... He said something and i felt it... 'but God is arresting the situation now'.. Everything is working for the emergence of Peter Obi as Nigerian president 2023.. It is PO-ssible.

If Peter Obi did not win this election you know that votes are not counted in this Nigeria

Good for them.
