APC NWC Members Meet Tinubu, Shettima
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Adamu, on Friday led members of the National Working Committee to the campaign office of the party’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, at the Central Business District in Abuja on Friday.
The visit, which held behind closed doors for hours, 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.
The development came two months after the delegation paid a congratulatory visit to the former governor of Lagos State barely 48 hours after he won the APC presidential primary on June 7.
Although details of their recent visit was sketchy as of the time of filing this report, a source believed it might not be unconnected to the prospect of wooing Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, and the need to resolve internal wrangling among his former co-aspirants and aggrieved party chieftains over the contentious Muslim-Muslim ticket.
Tinubu, who had been courting Wike through proxies over his 2023 presidential ambition, met the Rivers State governor in London on Monday.
Two days after his visit, the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, 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.
