Makinde argued:
“The first election is February 25, that is still little short of four weeks. We (referring to G5 governors) had issues and brought them up.
“We said the constitution of the party is very clear about rotation and zoning. I was the one who brought it up at the NEC meeting. Section 7(3)(c) of the PDP constitution is very clear.
“We are treading on a very dangerous path. I will not say because I’m in PDP then I should compromise on my principles and that is what the G5 governors are saying.↳
