FCT, Abuja – An emerging report has confirmed that the G-5 group of five Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors, led by Nysome Wike, held discussions with President Bola Tinubu late at night on Tuesday, October 17.
Before this meeting, they had gathered at the Abuja residence of the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike.
As reported by Vanguard, Wike and his former governor colleagues met with President Tinubu at the Presidential Villa.
While the exact details of the meeting were not precise as of 10:45 p.m. when this report was filed, it appears that they discussed the possibility of establishing a working relationship between the President and the former governors.

“The G-5 PDP Governors first met in Wike’s residence for a few hours before heading to the Villa to meet with the president.
“Exact details of what was discussed isn’t available to me at the moment, but from discussions held during the initial meeting at Wike’s residence, it was all about finding accommodation for the former governors in the scheme of things and of course, how they can work together .”
This meeting is notable given its timing, occurring just 24 hours before the Imo State PDP governorship campaign in Owerri and amid growing tension regarding the position of the party Secretary.
The former Governors present at the meeting included Nyesom Wike, the immediate past Rivers State Governor who now serves as the FCT minister; former Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom; former Enugu State Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi; his Abia State counterpart, Okezie Ikpeazu; and the current Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde.
