Wike Holds Meeting With Tinubu In France, Igbokwe Claims

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike is said to have left Turkey where he is holidaying for France to meet the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

A die-hard loyalist of Tinubu and Special Adviser to the Governor of Lagos State on the Environment and Water Resources, Joe Igbokwe disclosed this on Wednesday.

Igbokwe said while they were on social media abusing everybody, Wike had gone to France to meet Tinubu.

He said on his Facebook: “While they are on social media abusing everybody Governor Wike goes to France to meet Asiwaju. Abuse, calling names, hate and bigotry is no strategy.

“They hated and abused PMB (President Muhammadu Buhari) since 2015 and now they have transferred the aggression to Asiwaju. We wait and see.”Wike had been at loggerhead with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) since he lost the presidential ticket to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

Atiku overlooked Wike when he chose Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State as his running mate.

His associates and friends, Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue on Tuesday said he was still praying and fasting to know if God wanted him to support Atiku or not.

Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has made it clear that it is Southern presidency or nothing, meaning he would not be supporting Atiku for the presidency.
