Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu
There is no support deal stuck yet between the All Progressives Party (APC) presidential candidate, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, and the G-5 Governors. An impeccable source in the APC’s campaign team, disclosed this, saying that negotiations were still ongoing.
The G-5 Governors and Ahmed Bola Tinubu, it was reported, met in London over the 2023 presidency. The meeting’s outcome has been a subject of rumour in different quarters.
Speaking on Friday via a telephone chat, the source said Tinubu’s deal with the governors was pending further consultations with APC’s party structures in Rivers, Benue, Abia, Enugu and Oyo States.
Said the source: “Yes, a deal has been reached; however, negotiations are still going on; we have a formidable structure in all these states (Benue, Rivers, Oyo, Abia, Enugu), so we have to go back and consult this with structures. You know Bola Ahmed Tinubu is an experienced politician; he wants to do further consultation on the matter”.
The G-5 governors are Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, Samuel Ortom of Benue State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State and Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State.
