Reports have indicated that the crisis plaguing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seems to have come to an end.
It would be recalled that the PDP G5 Governors led by Nyesom Wike of Rivers state have been at loggerheads with the party’s presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and its National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu after Wike failed to clinch the presidential ticket.
The G5 Governors include Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, Samuel Ortom of Benue State, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State and their leader, Nyesom Wike of Rivers state.
The aggrieved governors are calling for the resignation of Iyorchia Ayu from his position maintaining that it is against the party’s constitution for the two strongest positions to be held by individuals from the same region.
However, indications have emerged that former military head of state, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (rtd) appears to have brought the crisis rocking the main opposition party to an end.
According to Daily Post, the parley which appeared to be fruitful saw the G5 making fresh demands.
A party chieftain, who spoke under the guise of anonymity said the G5 has agreed to work for the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar if their fresh demands would be acceded to.
