A source has spoken on the details of the meeting between the G5 governors and the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.
One of the governors, Nyesom Wike, had stated that he would reveal his preferred candidate in January 2023 and their meeting with Tinubu led to speculations that they would pledge support for him.
According to a source, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors have demanded Tinubu's support for the governorship and senatorial candidates in their respective states.

It was revealed that the five governors wanted assurances from the APC presidential flag bearer owing to concerns about their political careers.
Per the source, a final agreement could not be reached due to the 'complex demands' of the G5 governors.
“The G5 governors do not hold the four aces. As it stands, they are actually seeking shelter.
"The major hitch we have is that all the members of the G-5 demanded the governorship and senatorial seats in exchange for the big prize.
“Now, the question is, how are going to throw our people in Rivers, Plateau and Benue under the bus?
"I am worried about Benue, where we have low-hanging fruits.
"Of course, it is obvious we are set to win Benue with Reverend Father Hyacinth Alia, who we are sure will sweep the governorship poll", the anonymous source shared.
