Osinbajo, APC Presidential Aspirants To Meet Over Tinubu-Shettima Ticket

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi and 20 other aspirants will meet again in Abuja on August 31, three months after they went head-to-head at the primary for a presidential ticket of All Progressives Congress that eventually produced Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as flagbearer,

The development is coming on the heels of Tinubu’s reported dalliance with Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, which dominated headlines again when the two met in London two days ago.

The alleged pact between the two is coming to light following weeks of speculation and moves shrouded in secrecy.

Wike had attended the meeting with his allies including Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde; Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State; Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State and former Cross River State Governor, Donald Duke, among others.

Tinubu, who had come under heavy criticism over his preference for a Muslim-Muslim ticket, is seeking to bolster his chances at the February 28 presidential poll by luring Wike to his camp.
