A section of social media users have reacted to a plea, Reno Omokri, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) made to the party off the back of Nyesom Wike's rumored meeting with the Tinubu-Shettima campaign.

While MyNigeria couldn't verify the rumors at the time of filing this report, Daily Trust reported that five aggrieved governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were set to meet with the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Daily Trust has reliably gathered.

According to the online portal, the former Lagos State governor will meet them in one of the European countries this week.

The Daily Trust source refused to give the exact date of the meeting, however, said it is being conveyed to firm up their deal on the 2023 presidency with the governors.

He said the G-5 governors, comprising Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Samuel Ortom (Benue), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia) and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu) would after the meeting make their preferred presidential candidate known to the public.

In his reaction to the rumored meeting, Omokri said: "My dear Peoples Democratic Party. Let us do all we can to keep Wike in the PDP. But if, despite our best efforts, he endorses outside the party, let us extend a right hand of fellowship to Rotimi Amaechi. PDP created Amaechi. And we know he can’t coexist with Wike."

Several reactions have trailed his post. Check them out below.


aristotle_id said: "Amechi is in and with APC, Wike’s body language is in favor of Obi. There’s no amount of hands of fellowship that can change this permutation.
Atiku isn’t in this game. The race is between Tinubu & Obi, and Tinubu is most likely to be Nigeria’s next president, except Atiku give in and drum supports for Obi, to get the North"

m_iyamu wrote: "Ur level of inconsistency has become so alarming to the extent that ur former admirers are now ashamed to identify with u. U know wike n his capacity. Stop deceiving Wazirin Adamawa."

iam_st_kenlloyd commented: "You used all your strength fighting Peter obi, instead of using it to unite your fail PDP, now you want people who will join to keep wike"

princeps_koko wrote: "Amaechi is never going back to PDP. Your party should empower the likes of Sekibo, Uche Secondus and Lee Maeba to wage the onslaught against Wike. The same way Jonathan empowered Wike with all the trappings of state power to wage an onslaught against Amaechi in 2014."

contactmelodyfidel commented: "PDP and Atiku is still much in the game! The worst that can happen with Wike movement is for Tinubu to win and suffer continues for Nigerians cos Tinubu is not fit, if he is fit I would have said he can work but since he’s not fit, others will be doing their things and he will just be there as a decoration."
