Fayose expressed these views in an interview on Channels ... Television, where he discussed the aftermath of the G5 coalition and how it affected the unity of the party. The G5, a collective of significant PDP governors, took controversial stances during the 2023 general elections, often differing from the main leadership of the party.
In the interview, Fayose stated, “Sir, I would like to ... mention that we are all part of the G5.
