According to Dr. Bukola Saraki, the former president of the Senate, no one is opposed to the demands put up by Governor Nyesom Wike and his irate colleagues.
The Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) National Chairman is among the demands made by the G-5 Governors to resign.
The governors have been calling for the resignation of the party chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, after Atiku Abubakar won the party’s presidential primary poll.
Atiku Abubakar, the party’s nominee for president, and the bulk of the party’s officials, however, have resisted caving in to the demand and have insisted that, if at all feasible, it would only take place after the election.
“This is not what Atiku can do by his own decision. I can assure you that it is an issue of timing,” Saraki said on Arise TV’s The Morning Show on Monday.
“Everybody is on the same page with what the G-5 are asking for. It’s all about when it will happen.
“These are the kinds of things we are talking about now. Nobody is against what they’re saying but it’s about timing, when it’ll happen and how we’ll go about it and we’re working to see those issues are addressed.
“The Chairman himself didn’t say he wants to sit tight but what is important before us now is the election.
“I don’t see Atiku being sworn in May 2023 and the Chairman still remains in that office. I don’t see it. It’s all about timing and how to go about it.”
