[ODUNEWS] January 18 – According to early reports, Oyo state governor Seyi Makinde
would headline Atiku Abubakar’s presidential campaign rally in Ibadan. Governor Makinde, who is a member of the G5 governors’ clique led by Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, has been embroiled in a bitter rivalry with the PDP’s flagbearer.
It was learned that at the occasion, all of the party’s candidates at all levels will be appropriately introduced.

Governor Makinde, the G-5 Forum’s young leader, has always emphasised that the party must do the right things in order to reclaim its proper place at the national level, particularly strict adherence to the zoning principle.
His stance has splintered the party’s state chapter, with other party leaders saying that only the NEC of the party, not Atiku, has the authority to fire the national chairman, Iyorcha Ayu.
With recent developments, however, the party has returned to normalcy, with all parties cooperating.
Hazeem Gbolarumi, the ex-deputy governor of Oyo State and an ardent opponent of the incumbent will also be present.
