During the 2023 presidential period, the G-5 led by then Rivers governor Nyesom Wike, worked against the PDP and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Segun Sowunmi, a former campaign spokesman for former presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, has wondered how the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would survive having an opponent like the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Sowunmi said PDP survived the first stroke by the G-5 group of governors.
During the 2023 presidential period, the G-5 led by then Rivers governor Nyesom Wike, worked against the PDP and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
While Wike and four other governors in the group worked for Tinubu, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Samuel Ortom, then governor of Benue State, supported Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi.
Meanwhile, the opposition coalition recently adopted the ADC.
Speaking via a post on X, Sowunmi said, “PDP seems to have survived the first stroke caused by G-5.
“Let us hope it can survive the second stroke caused by ADC.
“To pretend not to see their efforts is madness. @OfficialPDPNig, there is more to energizing a party than what the present handlers are doing.”
