Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, governor of Enugu State, was on hand to receive Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) when he took his presidential campaign rally to the state on Tuesday.
However, the governor who is a member of the G5 governors, a group of five PDP governors who are at loggerheads with Atiku, was absent from the venue of the campaign rally.
The governors — Ugwuanyi, Nyesom Wike of Rivers, Seyi Makinde of Oyo, Samuel Ortom of Benue, and Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia — are demanding the resignation of Ayu as the party’s national chairperson.
Although Ugwuanyi was present when Atiku Abubakar visited the government house, the governor was not at the venue of the campaign rally.
The PDP presidential campaign team also held a meeting with traditional rulers in the state.
