Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal has begun reconciliation talks with the G5.
He started his reconciliation visit to his Benue State counterpart, Samuel Ortom whom he believes can help the party reach out to the G5 made up of five aggrieved governors including Ortom.
Tambuwal, who is also the Director General of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Council, admitted that politicians will always disagree but said the need to seek reconciliation and mend fences, most times, help rebuild the ranks of members for a stronger purpose.
On his part, Ortom, who commended Tambuwal for the move to initiate peace talks said the party leadership mismanaged the opportunity to turn the disagreement into a big revolution ahead of the 2023 elections.
He commended Tambuwal for taking steps to visit him noting that he has discussed his opinion on how he thinks the matter can be resolved.
he expressed hope that as a leader and as DG of the campaign, he will do the needful because he (Ortom) is not alone.
Ortom, together with Governors Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu) have for months demanded the resignation of PDP National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu as a precondition to support the presidential ambition of Atiku Abubakar.
The governors believed that northerners should not hold both seats.
