Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike says he and his allies, known as the G-5, have not reached an agreement with any presidential candidate ahead of next year’s election.

In the aftermath of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential primary, the G-5, which includes Wike, Governors Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Samuel Ortom (Benue), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), and Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), have been at odds with PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.

Wike, who was defeated by Atiku, believes the process was unfair, and the five governors insist that PDP National Chairman Iyorchia Ayu, a northerner, resign. Since the crisis, there has been speculation that the group has backed a presidential candidate.

However, the former Minister of State for Education dismissed the reports as false.

“[They said] Wike had an interview with BBC and he said we have a deal with so and so. Meanwhile, no video, no audio. And some of you waste your time listening to such things,” he said on Friday during the flag-off of the construction of Eneka-Igbo Etche Road.

“Don’t you know that when I want to do something, I will do it? Don’t you know? Do you need to speculate? You don’t need to speculate. They said there is trouble but there is no trouble. What we have is an introduction to the trouble that is going to come!”

“So, my dear people, I just want to tell you that whatever decision I will take, I will let you know. I cannot take any decision without taking advice from you,” the governor added, urging detractors to leave members of the G-5.

“I just want to enjoy myself and my family,” Wike said, maintaining that he is not contesting an election next year and thus should not be the subject of speculations.

He also accused Atiku of holding secret meetings with governors of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and failing to keep his promise that the PDP presidential candidate and party chairman would not be from the same region (North).
