What G5 Members Discussed With Tinubu - Gov Makinde

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has revealed what was discussed during the G-5 meeting with President Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

The G5, a group of disgruntled politicians inside the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), campaigned against the election of PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and favored the restoration of power to Southern Nigeria.

According to Makinde, the group met with Tinubu to update him on the recent developments in the country and to reaffirm their commitment to fairness, equity, and justice in Nigeria.

Makinde also admitted that nation-building is a challenging process that requires regular review.

On Thursday evening, June 8, the Oyo governor told State House correspondents:

Nation building is a very difficult task. You have to keep evaluating, you know what you’re doing, where you’re going. So, we have to keep seeing the President, you know, to let him know what is happening.

“The G-5, the Integrity Group, came to let the President know what we stood for: fairness, justice, and equity''.

In attendance at the meeting alongside Makinde were four former governors within the party. They are former Governors Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Samuel Ortom (Benue), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia) and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu).
