The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Adamu, alongside members of the National Working Committee, had a closed-door meeting with the party’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, at the campaign office in Abuja.
The closed-door meeting also had Tinubu’s running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima; National Vice Chairman for South-West, Isaac Kekemeke; National Youth Leader, Dayo Israel; Deputy National Chairman for North, Senator Abubakar Kyari, and other notable NWC members in attendance.
According to PUNCH, a source believed it might not be unconnected with the idea of wooing Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike.
The source added that the meeting was to resolve internal wrangling among Tinubu’s former co-aspirants and aggrieved party chieftains over the contentious Muslim-Muslim ticket.
Recall that Babachir Lawal and former Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara had recently threatened to mobilise northern Christian electorates to vote against Tinubu over the contentious Muslim-Muslim ticket.
KEMI FILANI had reported that the former Lagos State governor met Wike in London on Monday.
Two days after his visit, the Peoples Democratic Party standard bearer, Atiku Abubakar, also met with Wike in London in what many believed was a move to neutralise whatever plan Tinubu was making to lure Wike to his camp.
Earlier the same day, former President Olusegun Obasanjo had also led the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to a meeting with Wike.
