Former President Goodluck Jonathan has insisted that the five governors involved in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) crisis are not working for his cause.
Jonathan announced this in a statement signed by his special adviser, Ikechukwu Eze, on Friday.
Nyesom Wike (Rivers State), Seyi Makinde (Oyo State), Samuel Ortom (Benue State), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia State), and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Abia State) are the five governors (Enugu State).
They are all calling for the resignation of PDP national chairman Iyorchia Ayu, who has insisted that he will serve out his term.
According to recent reports, the five governors are working against Jonathan’s cause.
“Those who insinuate that Dr. Jonathan is not happy with the PDP’s Presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, because of whatever roles he played ahead of the 2015 elections forget that the former President actively campaigned for Atiku in 2019, attending the flag-off of his campaigns in Sokoto and subsequently participating in the campaigns in some states like Rivers and Bayelsa,” the statement read in part.
It added that Jonathan wishes “the PDP is able to resolve its internal crisis, unite all members and have a good showing in the forthcoming 2023 elections.”
