As a result of the meeting between Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and four of his colleagues, Raymond Nnaji, a senior member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has commented.
According to reports, the five PDP governors convened on Sunday in Enugu, the capital of Enugu State, for a strategy discussion to address the party’s current issue.
In addition to Wike, the meeting’s host, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu, Governors Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia, Samuel Ortom of Benue, and Seyi Makinde of Oyo State were also in attendance.

Nnaji criticized the five governors for plotting the demise of the party before the general elections in 2023 in an interview with The Punch on Sunday night.
According to Nnaji, if the party loses the presidential race, it will have a bandwagon effect and have an equal impact on each governor.
The governors have candidates they will install in office, he claimed, since doing otherwise will cause them problems. They are simply wasting time by doing all of these things. They will all lose if PDP loses in the national (election). There will be a bandwagon effect, and it will be too late to make any modifications.
“Ugwuanyi, for instance, is running for senator in Enugu North; there is no way he can decide to join another party or support another party at this time.”
Nnaji stated the meeting in Enugu is nothing but to play games, stating the idea was to show that they are still united in the quest to see the National Chairman, Iyrochia Ayu, leave office.
He said, “They are just playing games; that is the way I see it. They are looking for a way out of their problems because they have created problems thinking that they will make the changes but it is not working. So, if they pull the house down everybody will lose, including them.

“So, the meeting in Enugu is nothing but to play games. I believe they want to show that they are still intact. The party shouldn’t be afraid of their meeting. Let them continue to meet.”
