Governor Wike Hits France To Meet Tinubu

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State was reported to have departed Turkey for France to meet the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Special Adviser to the Governor of Lagos State on Environment and Water Resources, Joe Igbokwe, disclosed this on his Facebook handle on Thursday.

Igbokwe said while they were on social media abusing everybody, Wike has gone to France to meet Tinubu.

He said: “While they are on Social Media abusing everybody Gov Wike goes to France to meet Asiwaju. Abuse, calling names, hate and bigotry are no strategy.

“They hated and abused PMB since 2015 and now they have transferred the aggression to Asiwaju. We wait and see.”

Governor Wike, a Peoples Democratic Party presidential aspirant in the just concluded primary, had been at a loggerhead with the PDP since he lost the presidential ticket to Atiku Abubakar.

Atiku jettisoned Wike when he chose Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta as running mate.

His associates and friends, Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue on Tuesday said he was still praying and fasting to know if God wanted him to support Atiku or not.

Similarly, former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose had also declared that, in 2023, it is southern presidency or nothing.
