The five aggrieved Peoples Democratic Party governors and the camp of the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on Monday, quarreled over moves by the G-5governors to endorse their preferred presidential candidate in January.

The governors had vowed not to campaign for Atiku, hinting that they would reveal the presidential candidate they would support, few weeks to the February 25 presidential poll but the Atiku Campaign Council warned that dumping the PDP standard bearer would mark the end of their political careers.

Barring any twist, the governors would in the days ahead begin campaigns against the PDP presidential candidate in their respective states.

It was gathered that issues of trust and loyalty to the party would feature prominently in their campaign against Atiku.

Last week, Wike, the arrowhead of the move against Atiku, told the Rivers State chapter of the PDP to await his January directive on the presidential candidate to vote; a remark that elicited a sharp rebuke from his once trusted ally and immediate past National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus.
