President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is reportedly in a closed-door meeting with the former governors of Rivers and Ebonyi states, Nyesom Wike and David Umahi respectively.

 

The anointed candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the Senate Presidency, Senator Godswill Akpabio, is also said to be in the meeting, according to Vanguard.

 

This meeting makes it the second time the Wike would be visiting the President in 72 hours.

 

The three former governors arrived at about 3:33 pm and were delayed by security who wanted to get clearance from their superior before allowing them to proceed to the President office, as they were not briefed on the visit

 

Wike and Umahi were at the state house on Friday last week though the came separately to meet the President.

 

While Wike came in company of the former governor James Ibori of Delta State and the Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde, Umahi came with the newly appointed Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume.

 

After the last visit, Wike, while speaking with newsmen said that his visit was strictly to show support as a Nigerian, denying insinuations that he wants to defect to the APC.
