The breakaway faction of the PDP said the G7 is still intact as Governor Aliyu is still a member of their political association.
Chief Chukwuemeka Eze, spokesman for the Kawu Baraje led group said that the stories making the round that Aliyu had left their flanks was a rumor sponsored by Tukur and the PDP.
He said, “The first thing we did this morning when we read the report was to contact the governor through Baraje and according to the Chairman, the governor vehemently denied and refuted such an absurd and false report and assured us that he will be the last person to leave the G-7 governors particularly now that our struggle to reposition the PDP is about to yield the desired result.
“To us, this is just one of those evil machinations by failed politicians on the side of Bamanga Tukur’s faction to cause disunity in a group that God in answer to the prayers of Nigerians, brought to restore hope back to our dying democracy.
“We will like to assure Nigerians that this is a fight we shall see to its logical end not minding all the evil plots against us as a group.”
He said Aliyu was a very patriotic Nigerian and his strong commitment would ensure he never left the group.
