President Bola Tinubu is currently meeting with the former governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike the former governor of Delta State, James Ibori and the Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Former Governors Wike, Ibori Makinde arrived the State House at about 4:20 pm.

Ibori and President Tinubu served as governors between 1999 and 2007, while Wike just left office after completing eight years. Wike and Makinde are members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and belong to the group of governors, the G-5, that worked against their party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar in the February 25 elections.Ibori was said to have worked for the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the last general elections as his candidate for the PDP governorship election lost to the candidate of the former governor Ifeanyi Okowa.

There has been unconfirmed rumour that Ibori may soon defect to the APC, having lost control of the PDP in Delta State.

Wike on his own is having a running battle with the leadership of the PDP.

Just imagine ibori in the Presidential villa
Then you'll turn and tell your kids stealing is not good
Tinubu and Ibori were very good pals from 1999-2007
What he did in Delta, the other guy did in Lagos

LeoDeKing:
Ex Governor Wike will be the minister of defence. I like the way he dealt with illiterates and miscreants in Rivers State.

I like Ibori.

I also like Makinde.

I expect children of hate, anger, frustration and perdition to hate them.

flokii:
Tinubu should consider Wike for Ministerial post abeg.. the guy really tried his best for this administration.

Acekidc4:
The Three of them are Welcome to APC the Ruling Party.

APC must Capture River State, Oyo State and Delta State. Shikena.

ThatFairGuy:
He doesn't need it.

All former governors shouldn't be appointed Minister, they should present vibrant youths as their nominee for the position.

We need new faces in the polity.

This is what Nigerian Youths has been clamouring for which Obi used in his favour.

flokii:
As a show of appreciation.. Wike should get appointment in Abuja.
Federal senior States and most times Federal Ministers are like State Governors e.g. Minister of the FCT.
Wike na solid material, very energetic man and deserves to continue his service to our dear nation in Abuja.
