Wike is the leader of the aggrieved PDP governors known as G5 or Integrity Group and is calling for the resignation of Iyorchia Ayu, to pave way for southern leadership of the party in the name of justice, equity and fairness.

On the other hand, Obasanjo recently endorsed the candidacy of Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate ahead of his counterparts in the PDP and APC.
