Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State will openly declare his support for Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Newsbreak.ng reports that Wike is spearheading an agitation in his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), via his ‘Integrity Group’.
The group consists of PDP governors – Wike; Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde; Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu; Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom; and Enugu State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi – who said they are unhappy with the same-region domiciliation of the presidential candidacy and National Chairman position.
Inside sources revealed that following their meeting with Tinubu in London, United Kingdom (UK, earlier this week, Wike has decided to work for the victory of Tinubu openly. A formal announcement will be made in January.
However, this news medium learnt that Ikpeazu and Ugwuanyi did not agree to openly work for Tinubu due to their senatorial aspiration in 2023.
But they all foreclosed working for the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
