Be ready for your political obituaries – PDP taunts G5 Governors
Dino Malaye, the spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign council, has said, the five aggrieved governors should be ready to celebrate their political obituaries if they will not support the party’s presidential candidate.
Recall that the five aggrieved governors; Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Seyi Makinde (Oyo) Samuel Ortom (Benue) State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu) and Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), wanted the national chairman of the PDP, Iyorchia Ayu to resign.
Daily Trust had reported how the aggrieved governors working under the banner of G-5 struck a deal with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in London.
However, during a chat with Arise TV, Melaye said the aggrieved governors have no justification for their withdrawal of support for Atiku, adding that supporting another candidate other than their party’s will mark their political suicide.
He said: “They (the G-5 governors) have no reason whatsoever to say they’re not going to support the candidate of their party. But I’ve made the statement that if they fail to support the presidential candidate of their party, and they themselves are running elections, then they should be ready to celebrate their political obituaries.
“Every part of this country including their various States, candidates and party faithful, even APC members have decided that they’re going to vote the winning team, and that is the Atiku-Okowa ticket.
“About three of them are interested in going to the Senate, and one of them wants to return as governor under the PDP. So I don’t know what diabolic means they will use to dump the presidential candidate of their party and then advocate for another candidate outside their party. That will be a new trend in politics globally.
“So I advise that they don’t go that way, because if they do, I want to say politically, they will be like a dying horse doing the last kick.”

The embattled former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has declared himself the authentic Speaker of the House, saying he has resumed his position as the parliament leader.
Obasa made this known on Thursday after returning to the Assembly Complex under the protection of police and State Security Service operatives.
“I’ve resumed, and I remain the Speaker of the Assembly,” Obasa said.
It was his first time back since his removal on 13 January 2025.
Obasa arrived at the complex with more than 11 police officers and headed straight to the Speaker’s Office, ignoring his colleagues who were seen deliberating in the Assembly’s garden before his entrance.
His return follows a dramatic turn of events at the Assembly, where the security details of the new Speaker, Rt. Hon. Mojisola Meranda, were reportedly withdrawn.
