The Nysome Wike -led group of five Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governors made up of four former and one serving governor, held talks with President Bola Tinubu late on Tuesday.
It was gathered that the meeting was preceded by a meeting
held at the Abuja residence of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory,
FCT Nyesom Wike.
Soon after the meeting, it was gathered that Wike led his
former colleagues to meet with President Tinubu, at the Presidential Villa.
Although details of the meeting were sketchy as at the time
of filing this report at 10:45 pm, it was gathered that a working relationship
between the president and the former governors was what was tabled.
A source privy to the meeting who pleaded anonymity because
he was not authorized to speak on the issue 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 source noted that it was instructive that the former
governors were meeting with 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, Ifianyi Ugwuanyi, his Abia State counterpart, Okezie Ikpeazu and
serving Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde.

Nothing last forever. You answer G-5 governors even when some of you are now ex-governors. You gang up against your party that brought you in power and now working for another party just for the seek of political relevance. One day, in fact the day is even nearer, you all will reap what you are sowing.
