Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has narrated how he tried to make Bola Tinubu leave the All Progressives Congress for the opposition Peoples Democratic Party in 2018.
“He asked me. Who are these your candidates, I mentioned them. He said look, if it is these ones you have, I will support Buhari 200 times. He told me that. And I respected him.” Wike said since they insisted that they “must obey the constitution of our party, we cannot be held for anti-party”. According to Wike, “they believe in the unity of this country and that power should shift to the south. Whether in the course of doing that, they lost elections is immaterial. What is important? In principle, where did they stand? They may not go to Senate but they won.”Apart from Wike, other members of G-5 Governors are Governor Samuel Ortom , Ugwuanyi , Seyi Makinde and Ikpeazu .
