2023 Elections: Wike consolidates base, leads PDP Governors to meet Tinubu

As the crises in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) linger, some governors loyal to the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, have moved to Paris, France, for further deliberations and strategies.

The governors had traveled to meet the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde who was already spending his vacation in Paris.

After a brief meeting in Paris, the governors later moved to London.

At the meeting of the PDP reconciliation committee in Port Harcourt last Friday, the Wike camp had insisted that Iyorchia Ayu, PDP’s national chairman, should resign.

In the high-wired race to who succeeds President Muhammadu Buhari next year, it was reported that the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, met with Wike outside the country in preparation for the general elections.

This is coming weeks after Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State led his colleagues from the APC, Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-olu and Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu to Port Harcourt to meet Wike.
