Controversy Follows Wike, PDP Governors’ Meeting With Tinubu

Governor Nyesom Wike and some governors aligned with him in their tendency in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP had a meeting with All Progressives Congress, APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in London, setting further controversy on the peace process in the PDP.

Sources privy to the meeting said that contrary to earlier reports of the two sides having met in Paris, France, that the meeting actually took place in London. The outcome of the discussions was not immediately available as sources close to the two sides were not available to comment on the meeting.

Among the governors with Wike in the discussion were Governors Samuel Ortom, Seyi Makinde and Okezie Ikpeazu of Benue, Oyo and Abia States respectively.

Also in the vicinity was music star, David Adeleke popularly known as Davido, but GWG could not confirm if he was part of the engagements.

The governors reportedly left Nigeria for the meeting, a reason that may now have been behind the absence of Tinubu at the Nigerian Bar Association, annual conference holding in Lagos.

The three governors present at the meeting with Tinubu are close allies of Wike.

GWG reports that Wike and those allied to him have been peeved over the way the PDP convention was conducted, especially the opportunity that was given to Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal to make a second speech where he directed his delegate to vote for Atiku Abubakar.

Wike was also further pained after he failed to get the position of running mate despite what his allies claimed as a promise was made to him by Atiku.

The meeting in London between Wike and Tinubu is bound to further unsettle the peace process in the PDP especially after the chairman of the Board of Trustees, Senator Walid Jibrin came out to assert that it was wrong for all top positions in the party to be left in the North.
