While the presidential candidate of the PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the party seem to have moved on, can the party win the all important presidential election next year without these five governors? That is the big elephant in the room.
How the current PDP which has only 13 state governors and is not in power at the centre hoped to triumph over the ruling APC in 2023 remains to be seen. When reminded that the last time five incumbent governors abandoned the PDP presidential candidate close to the election in 2015 it did not end well for the party, he said that was only a conjecture, adding that despite the disagreements between the five governors and the party, none of the five governors have come out to openly say they would not work for the party.Kola’s position is however at variance with what some of the aggrieved governors have said about campaigning for Atiku.
Last week, Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom who belongs to Wike’s camp, called on the presidential candidate of PDP, Atiku Abubakar, to apologise over his outburst against him and the people of the state. Ortom described as false the claim that he profiled Fulani herdsmen and made the claim that his people stole cows from his farm.
