Five offended governors of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) are set to meet with All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to finalize a 2023 presidential deal, officials said as Daily Trust has reliably gathered.
According to a trusted source close to the former Lagos state governor ,meeting will be held in one of the European countries this week, barring last minute changes.
But sources who declined to give an exact date for the meeting said they were sent to cement a 2023 presidential deal with the governors.
He said the G-5 governors, comprising Nyesom Wike (Rivers), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Samuel Ortom (Benue), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia) and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu) would after the meeting make their preferred presidential candidate known to the public.
The governors, it was gathered are already in the United Kingdom ahead of the meeting.
“The support by G5 for Tinubu is going to be a game changer, akin to the declaration of the G6 for the APC in 2014.
“We are meeting with the group this week in Europe to firm up the arrangement. They are first-class nationalists who believe in the Nigeria project and we shall work together for the good of the nation,” he said.
