A source said, “They will give the direction of where they are going but may not mention the name of the presidential candidate to avoid being accused of an anti-party offence and to protect their different political interests.”

It was gathered that despite Governor Ortom’s preference for LP presidential candidate, Peter Obi, his colleagues are yet to agree on a particular candidate.

There claims that there is anxiety in the camp of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State over the implication of endorsement of the G-5 on the fortunes of the party in the state.
