June 05, (THEWILL) – President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Monday, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, met with former Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike and his counterpart in Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, as well as former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio.
The President is meeting Wike for the second time in four days. He was in the Villa last Friday, along with former Delta State Governor, James Ibori and Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State.
Similarly, Umahi met with the President last Friday, in his office.
Although details of the meeting are sketchy at the time of filing this report, THEWILL reports that Akpabio is the preferred candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the position of the 10th Senate President.
The meeting is believed to be part of an effort to perfect his chance amid opposition from some lawmakers.
