The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu has met Governor Seyi Makinde at the Government House in the state capital, Ibadan.
Tinubu along with other APC stalwarts paid the visit to Seyi Makinde as the party’s presidential campaign train holds today, Thursday, February 16, 2023, at the Mapo Hall in Ibadan.
The visit comes barely twenty-four hours after Tinubu had met the Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike.
Recall that Seyi Makinde and Wike are members of aggrieved Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors known as G5-governors who have vowed not to campaign for the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar if the party’s national chairman Iyoricha Ayu fail to resign.
They held that the party’s power is too concentrated in the north and there is a need for the party’s leader to secede power to the south.
Meanwhile, Wike has ruled out any last-minute truce between the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and the G-5 Governors of the party.
This is as he said he was not ready to sit with any member of Atiku’s camp to broker peace between the G-5 also known as the ‘Integrity Group’ and the national leadership of the party led by the National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu.
Speaking during a media chat with select television stations in Port Harcourt on Thursday, Wike said he owes nobody an apology to have hosted the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, in Port Harcourt after the latter’s campaign rally in the State on Wednesday.
The governor said, “No, we can’t do that; it’s over! We have said it and there is nothing anybody can do about it now. They believe they can win the election. I am not ready to sit down with anybody again.”
