Wike, Atiku attend PDP caucus meeting — first since presidential poll

Following Atiku’s victory, a group of five governors known
as the G5 demanded the resignation of Iyorchia Ayu who was then the national
chairman of the party.

But Ayu refused to resign.

Wike and his allies in the G5 — Samuel Ortom (Benue); Okezie
Ikpeazu (Abia); Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu) and Seyi Makinde (Oyo), would later
form a major opposition to Atiku in the 2023 presidential election.

They were believed to have contributed to the defeat of the
PDP in the elections.

Since then, the situation has escalated into a prolonged
crisis within the party.
