GOVERNOR Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, his counterpart of Enugu State, Okezie Ikpeazu and three others that make up the G5 will support the All Progressives Congress – APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, in Saturday’s election, the Senate Chief Whip, Orji Kalu, has said
Kalu said during a live appearance on Channels Television’s The 2023 Verdict on Monday, that the aggrieved Peoples Democratic Party – PDP, governors have made up their minds not to back Atiku Abubakar, who will be representing the PDP on Saturday.
“Tinubu is well liked by the North and is from the South-West and is going to get a [sizable] vote in Imo, Ebonyi, Abia, Anambra and Enugu. And he’s going to have the support of Governor Wike of Rivers State, so we’re on track,” he said.
“My governor here, Okezie Ikepazu, will also support Tinubu. My senatorial district is going to give Tinubu the vote. The puncher to give the 34, 35 percent to be on the ballot.”
The Senate Chief Whip said that the general public do not have to be worried about the internal wranglings in the APC over the naira swap policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria – CBN.
