Endorse the 'devil' you know - Shehu Sani tells Wike-led G5 govs

Former Senator Shehu Sani has advised Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State-led G5 governors on the presidential candidate they should throw their weight behind.

According to Sani, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors should endorse the “devil” they know.

Wike and the aggrieved governors are against the party zoning the presidential candidature and National Chairman to the north.

They have since protested on several occasions that the North can’t produce the Presidential flagbearer and the National Chairman.

The G-5 group comprising governors from Benue, Oyo, Enugu, Abia, and Rivers State, demanded the resignation of Iyorchia Ayu as PDP National Chairman.

Wike, who became aggrieved after losing to Atiku, said the G-5 wants the position of the party’s National Chairman zoned to the Southern part of the country.

However, Sani in a tweet wrote: “G-5 Governors should endorse ‘the devil’ they know and not…

“The nation is blessed with Presidential candidates with democratic credentials and history of tolerance to political criticism, political opposition and political dissent. We don’t need an autocrat allergic and hostile to different opinion.”
