G5 Will Choose Nigeria’s Unity, Makinde Tells Tinubu

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde has said that the G5 will work for Nigeria’s unity as the country heads for the polls.

Makinde, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), made the comment on Thursday when the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Bola Tinubu and some chieftains of the party visited him in Ibadan, coupled with a rally in the state.

The Oyo leader, who is a member of G5 of the PDP – aggrieved governors of the main opposition party – said the Integrity Group is after the country’s unity.

He said, “The Integrity Group, we have said if we have to choose between the unity of this country and our aspirations, we will choose the unity of the country.”

“We have to evolve a system such that there is inclusivity, fairness, justice, and equity in how we run this country,” Makinde added.

According to him, while there are several political parties and candidates, everyone must work to ensure the unity of the country.

This for him becomes more important because “if the country does not survive, the political parties will fade away”.

He further praised northern APC governors for standing for equity and fairness in their support of Tinubu.
