President Bola Tinubu on Friday evening reportedly met with the immediate past governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, former governor of Delta State, James Ibori, and the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, at the State House, Abuja.

The trio who are of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were spotted arriving at the presidential villa at around 4:30p.m where they were ushered into the President’s office.

Meanwhile, the Chief Executive Officer of Access Holding Plc, operators of Access Bank, Mr. Herbert Wigwe, was spotted walking out of the State House complex.

The purpose of the meeting has not been ascertained but it would be recalled that Governor Makinde and Wike who were among the PDP G5 governors that withdrew their support for the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, during the general elections were considered to have been Tinubu’s allies.

The duo whose states were won by Tinubu during the February 25th presidential election reportedly played enormous supportive roles to ensure Tinubu’s victory at the poll.
