Peace and amity appears to have returned to the crisis-torn People’s Democratic Party (PDP) as the party’s aggrieved governors known as G-5 has reached a truce with the leadership of the party.
The truce, Persecondnews gathered, followed the intervention of former Head of State, Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida.
The arrow head of the governors-PDP leadership crisis is Rivers Gov. Nyesom Wike, who has relentlessly called for the resignation of the National Chairman, Dr Iyorchia Ayu following the emergence of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as the party’s presidential candidate also from the North against the PDP constitution.
Other members of the G5 are Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, Samuel Ortom of Benue State, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State.
However, Babangida’s mediation appears to have brought the crisis rocking the main opposition party to an end.
Reliable party source said the G-5 has agreed to work for the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar, but not without their fresh demands.
The demands include the zoning or sharing of top government offices security chiefs among the six geo-political zones.
They also want all party’s offices in the North should move to the South if Atiku wins the presidential election in 2023.
