A group of five former and serving governors within the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), known as the G-5 Governors, recently held talks with President Bola Tinubu in Abuja.
Gatekeepers News reports that the meeting followed discussions at the residence of the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, who leads the group.
While specific details of the meeting remain undisclosed, it is believed that the discussions focused on establishing a working relationship between the G-5 Governors and President Tinubu.
A source who pleaded anonymity because he was not authorised to speak on the issue said, “The G-5 PDP Governors first met in Wike’s residence for a few hours before heading to the Villa to meet with the president.
“Exact details of what was discussed isn’t available to me at the moment, but from discussions held during the initial meeting at Wike’s residence, it was all about finding accommodation for the former governors in the scheme of things and of course, how they can work together .”
The source noted that it was instructive that this development occurred just ahead of the Imo State PDP governorship campaign in Owerri and amid growing tension within the party regarding the position of the party Secretary.
The former Governors who attended the meeting were: Nyesom Wike, immediate past Rivers State Governor and now FCT minister, Former Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, Former Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, his Abia State counterpart, Okezie Ikpeazu and serving Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde.
