A member of the Integrity Group and former Plateau State Governor, Jonah Jang, said the G-5 governors led by Nyesom Wike, are not supporting the All Progressives Congress, APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Jang stated this while reacting to the claim made by the Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Governor Simon Lalong, that the G-5 governors are supporting Tinubu.
In a statement issued by his Media Consultant, Clinton Garuba on Sunday, Jang stated that Nigerians no longer took anything coming from Lalong seriously.
He said, “Obvious sign that Lalong is daydreaming is him thinking that the G5 PDP governors and allies including former Governor Jang are supporting Tinubu.
“They have repeatedly said that they do not have personal problems with Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, but with the process that brought him up.
“Yes, the integrity group has disagreements with the PDP and their withdrawal of support for Atiku’s campaign does not in any way suggest that they support the APC candidate. Only Lalong and his fellow dreamers think so.”
Recall that the aggrieved governors, Wike of Rivers State, Samuel Ortom (Benue), Ifeanyi Ugwanyi (Enugu), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia) and Seyi Makinde (Oyo), have been at loggerheads with the PDP leadership over the zoning of the party’s national chairman position.
