EKO HOT BLOG reports that the presidential flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ashiwaju Bola Tinubu has revealed details of his discussion with the River State Governor, Nyesom Wike.
Tinubu and other top APC members on Wednesday met with Governor Wike at the Government House in Port Harcourt.
Tinubu praised Wike for his “commitment” to the unity of Nigeria.
The APC chieftains paid a visit to the Rivers State governor after the ruling party’s presidential rally at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium.
The APC presidential candidate informed Governor Wike, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), that the courtesy call was necessitated by his sheer regard and admiration for his advocacy for justice, equity and fairness.
Tinubu stated that he joined the 2023 presidential race to lead Nigeria on the philosophy which Governor Wike has consistently advocated that power should return to the South.
“Our courtesy call, not to personalise it, is out of the respect I have for you,” Tinubu said.
“You worked hard and you voiced loudly your commitment to unity and the critical part to that unity in Nigeria, you never advocated a division of our country. You followed history. You respect the country.”
