Governor Aminu Tambuwal has explained why the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has not responded to five of its governors said to romancing the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
There have been reports that the G5 PDP Governors led by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state have been meeting with Tinubu in London on the possibility of their teaming up to work for his victory in the forthcoming presidential elections.
Other members of the G-5 are: Governors Okezie Ikpeazu, Samuel Ortom, Ifeanyi Uguwanyi and Seyi Makinde of Abia, Benue, Enugu and Oyo states.
But speaking to journalists in Sokoto on Friday, Tambuwal who is also the Director General of the Atiku/Okowa presidential campaign organization said the PDP is a law abiding party; and it would explore lawful avenues to bring any of its erring members to book.
Tambuwal said: “The five good colleagues that are in G-5…. You know, I have always been saying this: we engage in political engineering and political negotiations. It is not a war of attrition .
“I always submit that in this our business, whatever it is that you are doing , even if you try to hide it, it will come out. You cannot plan and execute a political project in your own bedroom. You must come out with it
“So, when my colleagues resolve on what to do, I think it is then that the party will now respond on whatever position they have taken,” he said.
