The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) took a new twist on Wednesday as the Presidential Campaign Council inaugurated a committee in Oyo State, excluding Governor Seyi Makinde, a member of the G-5.
The G-5 comprises governors opposed to the leadership of the party. They had distanced themselves from the campaign of Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate, giving the resignation of Senator Iyioricha Ayu as PDP chairman as a condition to work for Atiku.
Led by Governor Nyesom Wike, other members of the G-5 are Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), Samuel Ortom (Benue), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia) and Makinde.
