Once G5 govs close door of reconciliation, we’re not going back — Gov Wike
The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has said that the 5 aggrieved governors of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, will not reverse their decision once it’s made.
He said the aggrieved governors otherwise known as G-5 governors will soon close the negotiation window, which translates to an end of possible reconciliation.
The Informant247 recalls that the aggrieved governors have been calling for the resignation of the National Chairman of the party, Iyorcha Ayu on the ground that the party cannot have a northerner as the presidential candidate and at the same time the chairman of the party.
The Rivers governor said they will not reverse their decision once they decide on whom to support for the presidential election which is scheduled for next month.
“The point I am trying to tell you is that PDP should have their opportunity because there will come a time the door will be shut and nothing will happen. If that day comes, if heaven wants to come down, let it come down,” he said.
“Nobody should threaten anyone. If we (G5) take the decision today that we will not support the PDP candidate, we will give reasons why we will not support him and nothing anybody will do about it. They should better be careful.”
“Why are you in a hurry? I didn’t mention the particular date in January. People should calm down. We are all politicians; we have political strategies. I don’t work as an individual. That’s what people don’t understand,” he said.
“There are different strategies in going to war. What you see today is not what you see tomorrow. I laugh at them (PDP) when they say we are in touch with so, so governor.”
The Governor also reaffirmed that the aggrieved governors will not leave the party for any other party.
“We are not like them. We can’t leave our house for armed robbers, we won’t do that. This is a house we built. We cannot leave it, for who? No way,” he said.
“We will stay inside this house and fight. And we know that they have no choice but to allow peace to reign. They must bring the peace.”
