JUST IN: APC govs visit Wike as 2023 race hots up

Some governors elected under the platform of the All Progressives Congress are currently meeting with the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, ahead of the 2023 elections.

The governors include Kayode Fayemi; Rotimi Akeredolu and Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Ekiti, Ondo, and Lagos States respectively.

Others in their entourage include the Ekiti State Governor-elect, Biodun Oyebanji.

Former Ekiti State governor and Peoples Democratic Party chieftain, Ayodele Fayose, was on hand with Wike to recieve the visitors.

It was learnt that Wike, who lost the PDP presidential ticket to Nigeria’s former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, is meeting with the APC chieftains and others at his country home in the Port Harcourt area of the state.

As of the time of this report, the purpose of the visit by APC governors and the subsequent meeting with their host is unknown.

Before the APC governors’ visit, there had been reports that the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, and Wike met in France, but the record was set straight by Tinubu media office that, thought the former Lagos governor was not against meeting Wike he hold in high esteem, or anyone worthy of being met, but emphasised such meeting never held between Tinubu and Wike in France.
