PRESIDENTIAL POLL: G-5 KEEPS PDP SUPPORTERS IN SUSPENSE

Supporters of the Group of Five (G-5) Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors are to wait a little longer to know who to vote as president on February 25.

They were kept guessing yesterday at Governor Seyi Makinde’s re-election campaign kicked off In Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

G-5 leader and Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, who urged PDP members to vote Makinde at the governorship and others candidates at the National and State Assembly polls, said the Oyo governor will announce who they should vote for at the presidential election.

The campaign, which held at the historic Mapo Hall, attracted huge crowds of PDP members and supporters from across the state.

There were heightened expectations from those sympathetic to the G-5 governors’ cause that a candidate of choice for the presidential poll would be unveiled at the Ibadan rally.

Appealing to the members and supporters to vote for all the candidates of the party for the National and State Assembly elections, Wike excluded the party’s presidential candidate.
