President Bola Tinubu is now meeting with former Rivers State governor Nyesom Wike, former Delta State governor James Ibori, and incumbent Oyo State governor Seyi Makinde at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
At around 4:20 p.m., former Governors Wike, Ibori, and incumbent governor Makinde arrived at the State House.
Ibori and President Tinubu were governors from 1999 to 2007, while Wike just departed office after eight years.
Wike and Makinde are members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and belong to the group of governors, the G-5, that worked against their party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the February 25 elections.
Ibori was said to have worked for the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the last general elections, as his candidate for the PDP governorship election lost to the candidate of the former governor, Ifeanyi Okowa.
There has been an unconfirmed rumour that Ibori may soon defect to the APC, having lost control of the PDP in Delta State.
Wike, on his own, is having a running battle with the leadership of the PDP.
