2023: Four PDP governors back Muslim-Muslim ticket, pledge to work for Tinubu

There are indications that four governors currently serving on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are working for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

According to Daily Post, the governors had pledged their support to Tinubu and promised to work for Tinubu in 2023.

Ever since the emergence of Atiku, the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike who came second behind Atiku at the convention, had been having a running battle with the leadership of the party.

Wike, who was bitter, blamed his loss on religion, betrayal by the party leadership, especially, the national chairman, Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, and the Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal, whose sudden decision to stand down for Atiku, he claimed, allegedly tilted the presidential primary result against him.

The River State Governor has since been fraternising with Tinubu which also led to the recent London meeting.

Wike, Governors Samuel Ortom (Benue), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), and Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia) – had met in London with Tinubu to consider the possibility of working together.
