G-5 governors regroup in Abuja, hold talks with Tinubu

Report indicate that the G-5 Governors led by Nyesom Wike on Tuesday, October 17 had a meeting with President Bola Tinubu.

The group which currently has four former governors and one serving governor, preceded their meeting in Abuja, residence of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Nyesom Wike.

The FCT Minister led his former colleagues to meet with President Tinubu, at the Presidential Villa shortly after their meeting.

According to Vanguard, a source who spoke on anonymity 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 former governors met President Tinubu barely 24 hours to the commencement of the Imo State PDP governorship campaign in Owerri and the growing tension over the occupant of the seat of 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, former Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu and serving Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde.
