BREAKING: PDP Breaks Silence, Speaks On Gov. Wike’s Meeting With Tinubu

• PDP has reacted to report of Gov. Wike’s visit to Tinubu. 

THE NATION REPORTERS reports that the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has reacted to viral reports of the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike’s meeting with the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in France.

This online medium reports that the romance of the Rivers State governor with chieftains of the APC and the Labour Party (LP) has raised dust in the leading opposition party.

Since the selection of the Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa on June 16 by the Presidential Candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, there has been an uneasy calm in the leading opposition party.

On Thursday, Joe Igbokwe, an APC chieftain, via Facebook, claimed Wike met with Tinubu in France. The claim ballooned the speculation about the impending defection of the Rivers State governor to the APC.

Reacting, a member of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the PDP Alhaji Adamu Maina Waziri, who spoke on behalf of the national party leadership faulted the report of Wike’s meeting with Tinubu.

He said he has been with the Rivers State Governor on Wednesday in Istanbul, Turkey.

” Governor Wike came directly from Nigeria to Istanbul, Turkey. He did not go to France as speculated. This is to debunk the propaganda of the APC through Igbokwe. This is fake news orchestrated by the sinking ruling party which is on its way out, ” he said in a phone chat today.

Asked what is their mission to Istanbul, he said; “What is your business with our mission? We came to rest after our national convention. Of course, as a political animal, I do politics anywhere I find myself.”
