The G-5 governors on Thursday flagged off the re-election campaign of one of their members, Seyi Makinde, at the historic Mapo Hall in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State.
The five disgruntled governors of the Peoples Democratic Party are headed by Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.
Others are Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, Samuel Ortom of Benue State, and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State.
As they arrived at the campaign venue on Thursday, party supporters from every one of Oyo State’s 33 local government areas filled the major highways leading to Mapo Hall, as security personnel made frantic efforts to keep the crowd under control.
