A reliable source in the All Progressives Congress(APC), has informed Metronetworknews that a meeting was held in London between the APC presidential candidate, Chief Ahmed Bola Tinubu and Barr. Nyesom Wike, the Governor of Rivers state.
According to the source, the meeting was centred on how Gov. Wike would assist the APC to deliver Rivers state either to give them 25 percent votes or the entire state.
The details of the meeting according to the source will be discussed with Gov. Wike’s strong supporters as soon as he arrives Port Harcourt, the Rivers state capital.
The source said: “It is true that there was a meeting where Tinubu met with Wike, Makinde and Ikpeazu. The meeting was held on Monday night, it was not in France, it was in London.
‘’The meeting had to do with Wike and his camp staying in PDP, causing crisis in PDP and asking his supporters to work for APC. Asiwaju is coming back today (yesterday) or tomorrow morning (today).”
Another source, who confirmed the London meeting, said: “I know Tinubu and Wike’s team went for a meeting outside the country. What I know is Atiku will go ahead without Wike.
‘’From what I know, if the internal crisis is not resolved, Wike will be an albatross. I know some leaders are confusing Atiku not to work with Wike but that is dangerous for the progress of the party.
“If they want the PDP to win in 2023, Ayu must resign and if he does that, it will help the party. If Ayu resigns today, the PDP crisis will be over but Ayu has insisted that he won’t resign because of his four-year mandate.
‘’The likes of Uche Secondus will not want the crisis to be over, Austin Opara, who was denied ticket will not want the crisis resolved.”
Governor Wike is currently at loggerheads with the PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar over his defeat at the PDP presidential primary and Abubakar’s choice of a running mate.
The governor is also at war with other top party faithful in his state opposed to his antics.
