There would be no last-minute resolution to the feud between the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and the G5 Governors.
Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State disclosed this on Thursday when he chatted with some journalists in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State.
Governors Samuel Ortom (Benue), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu) are the other member of the G5
Wike told the journalist that there would be no more talks with PDP leadership.
“No, we can’t do that; it’s over! We have said it and there is nothing anybody can do about it now. They believe they can win the election. I am not ready to sit down with anybody again,” the governor said in response to a question.
Wike is announcing this stand of the G56 hours after he hosted the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, at Government House, Port Harcourt.
Tinubu visited Wike after campaigning at Yakubu Gowon Stadium, still in Port Harcourt.
Wike told Tinubu, “I have no apology to anybody to say nobody born of a woman can intimidate me. You have never changed a party one day. That tells of your character and courage and that is what we require in this country.”
Wike said he owes no one apology for receiving the presidential candidate.
According to sources, Wike and Tinubu had a pact abroad to perfect the 2023 election strategies, but both sides denied the report.
Tinubu has held several meetings with Wike in the buildup to the 2023 elections while key APC chieftains have inaugurated projects executed by Wike’s administration.
