AS the crisis rocking the opposition Peoples Democra5tic Party (PDP) festers, Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has intensified his efforts to be the beneficiary of the lingering crisis as he met with Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state and his group in London on Tuesday.

It was gathered that Tinubu met with Governor Wike alongside Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state and  Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State. The governors on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, it was learnt, left Nigeria to meet with Tinubu on Monday night.

Governors Ortom and Makinde who have been close allies of Wike and have joined forces with the Rivers State Governor in the PDP crisis as they have also met with the party’s reconciliation team last week in Portharcourt before the London meeting with Tinubu.Although details of the meeting were yet to be ascertained, it may not be unconnected with potential alliance of Wike to cede support for Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election.

Wike has been widely speculated to leave the PDP, following his fallout with Abubakar Atiku, who defeated him to clinch the PDP ticket in May. 

“Yes, we left Nigeria to meet with Tinubu on Monday. We initially thought it would hold in France because that was where Tinubu went the last time he left the country. We however got signal close to our time of departure that we should proceed somewhere else.

“Governors Ortom and Makinde who have been supporters of Wike from the beginning were also on the trip,” a source told Western Post.
