Wike Collaborates With Makinde To Open Ibadan Aviation Fuel Depot

For local airlines operating at the airport in South-West Nigeria and connecting to other domestic routes in the nation, the depot is anticipated to make Jet-A1 easily accessible.
The G5 or the "Integrity Group," which consists of disgruntled governors from the People's Democratic Party, including Wike and Makinde (PDP).

Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), Samuel Ortom (Benue), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), and Nyesom Wike are the five PDP governors who make up the G5 (Rivers).

After the PDP's presidential primary in May 2022, the five governors united to demand that Iyorchia Ayu, the party's national chairman, stand down in favor of a southern replacement as a condition of supporting Atiku Abubakar, the party's flag bearer, in the election on February 25. In the just completed elections, Atiku and Ayu both called the governors' bluff and refused to give in to their demands.

Atiku did not fare well in any of the G5 states, whereas Peter Obi of the Labour Party won Enugu and Abia, and Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) fared well in Oyo, Benue, and Rivers.

Of the G5, Ortom, Ikpeazu, Ugwuanyi, and Wike are two-term governors; Makinde is a one-term governor who is running for re-election on March 11, 2023, with the goal of serving a further four years.

It's interesting to note that Ortom, Ikpeazu, and Ugwuanyi attempted to join the Senate, which has been referred to be a "retirement home" for former governors, but the group was unsuccessful in their effort due to results from the presidential and National Assembly elections on February 25.

On March 11, Makinde will be the center of attention after three of his fellow soldiers were defeated. Would he be able to overcome his obstacles and end the G5 defeats' losing streak? Time will only tell.
