“First of all, let us ask: what was the purpose of that meeting? Why did Makinde not come out to tell the party that this is what Wike said?” he asked. “There was no such meeting.”
Wike clarified that the only meeting involving Makinde and other PDP leaders after the 2023 general election was a courtesy visit to President Tinubu, not a political negotiation.
He said, “Myself, former governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom; former governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu; former governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi; and Seyi Makinde went to see the President after the elections. And of course, the Chief of Staff was there.”
