Tinubu in closed-door meeting with Wike, Umahi, Akpabio in Abuja
Nigerian President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is currently in a closed-door meeting with former governors Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Dave Umahi (Ebonyi) and Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
It was gathered that the three ex-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 they came separately to meet the President.
It was reported that while Wike came in company of the former governor James Ibori of Delta State and the Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde, Umahi came with George Akume, the newly appointed Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
Wike, while speaking with journalists on Friday, said he was at the State House to show support to President Tinubu.
Akpabio is the preferred candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the position of senate President and Umahi, who recently exited from office is a Senator–elect.
