The meeting with the governors, which is ongoing, may not be unconnected with the presidential election and exploiting Wike’s grievances against Atiku to the advantage of Tinubu.
Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has deployed three governors in the South West to parley Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike in the battle for Nigeria’s top job.
Recall that Wike has been given the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, the cold shoulder after failing to be selected as the Vice Presidential candidate of the party.

Analysts say Wike may not leave the PDP but play spoiler for Atiku for ditching him and choosing the Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa as running mate.
The Governors who arrived this afternoon to meet with Wike in Port Harcourt include; Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti); Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos) and Rotimi Akeredolu (Ondo).
The meeting with the governors, which is ongoing, may not be unconnected to the presidential election and exploiting Wike’s grievances against Atiku to the advantage of Tinubu.
