PDP Crisis Deepens as Governor Wike, Ortom, Makinde, Others, Meet Tinubu, Obi in Paris
By News Editor, Abuja
Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike his counterparts in Benue State, Samuel Ortom, Oyo state, Seyi Makinde and Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu and other top loyalists are currently in a crucial meeting in Paris with the All Progressives Congress (APC) leader and Presidential Candidate of the party, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Waiting in turn for another crucial meeting with the PDP team is the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
Governor Wike’s team jetted out of Nigeria at about 1:30am on Monday morning, August 22, 2022 for the scheduled appointment.
According to our sources in Paris, the meeting in which the Governor Wike led group are to decide wether to pitch their tents with the APC Presidential Candidate, Bola Tinubu or The Labour Party Candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, is holding at the Hotel PENINSULA, 19 Kleber Avenue, Paris. It was revealed that, Governor Wike is lodged in room 507, Hotel Peninsula, while the APC leader is on the 6th floor of the same hotel.
It is however sketchy if Peter Obi of the Labour Party who was spotted boarding a flight at the Lagos International Airport, immediately after his presentation at the ongoing NBA conference is heading to Paris to join Governor Wike and his team.
This explains why both Governor Nyesom Wike, who is a leading member of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), and the APC Presidential Candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu were both absent at the opening of the ongoing NBA conference in Lagos.
This move is a clear indication that the Governor Wike led group has been deceiving the leadership of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in a fruitless reconciliation meetings, but has already decided to play the “spoiler game” by destroying the party from within, frustrate the chances of the PDP Presidential Candidate in the 2023 Presidential Election, Atiku Abubakar or when the push comes to shove, move enmass to the APC or Labour Party when the PDP least expedited.
Nigerians will recall that the Rivers State Governor who came second in the PDP Presidential primaries, has been engaging the party in a battle for supremacy, calling for the resignation of the National Chairman of the party, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, among other unpardonable demands. It is however clearer now that the whole essence of Governor Wike’s battle in the PDP was to pave way for a Bola Tinubu Presidency in 2023. Hmmm if this is confirmed to be true, then we have an interesting time ahead.
