Following his defeat at the People Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential primaries, Rivers state Governor Nyesom Wike has resolved to throw his weight behind the Presidential ambition of former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, POLITICS NIGERIA can authoritatively report.

Wike, who emerged second in the race to clinching the party's ticket, lost to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who polled 371 votes against the River Governor's 237 on Saturday.

Also, former senate president Bukola Saraki came third after he garnered votes of 70 delegates while Governor Udom trailed behind him with 38 votes.

Pundits believe that Wike’s loss at the poll was as a result of the last-minute alliance between Aminu Tambuwal, Sokoto State Governor and Abubakar. The former declared for the latter at the 11th hour.

But Wike, according to multiple sources familiar with internal workings, will not be ing PDP as expected. Rather, he will Tinubu, a Presidential hopeful, who stands a chance to clinch the ticket under the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Sources attributed this to the outcome of the Saturday election, noting that the Rivers state Governor is at war with fellow south-south governors, whom he believes contributed to his defeat.

“As far as I’m concerned, there is nothing to worry about. I contested that election based on the agreement with all the Southern Governors and the leaders of the South that the presidency should go to the South.

“We have done our own part. We never betrayed anybody because it is not in our blood to betray. But it is a shame to those people, some governors from the South who are the people they used to sabotage our victory. But however, we have shown them that we are not like them," the Rivers Governor had said on Monday.

Another source explained that prior to Saturday, there is an unwritten agreement between Tinubu and Wike, which states that the latter will the former should he lose in the primaries.

According to this source, Wike, like some Governors who have a clandestine agreement with the APC leaders, has promised to deliver South South, which is his stronghold, to Tinubu.

Also, Tinubu’s agreement with Wike is to enable him 'cause problems' for Rotimi Amaechi, one of his contenders in the APC Presidential primaries. This is evidenced by Wike's subliminal for Senator Magnus Abe, who is an opponent to Amaechi and currently battling him for the structure of the APC in Rivers state.

It should be noted that Amaechi, who is currently the minister of Transportation, is an arch rival of Wike.

Some bigwigs in the Peoples Democratic Party have already got a hold of Wike's move and have commenced resolution talks. Part of this was the visit of Abubakar at Wike's residence on Monday.

The Ikwerre born Politician has in the past expressed praise and for the Lagos Political leader adding that he would never "say or do anything to malign the hard-earned reputation of the elder statesman."

WATCHOVER:

You are very wrong and don't understand or follow PDP pre-primary election events.
IBB & Northern elders chose Bukola Saraki and Bala Muhd as the choice of Northerners for PDP primary election and Tambuwal was very angry and felt betrayed by their decision after the trio spent weeks touring the Northern states together.
Tambuwal stepped down for Atiku not because he agrees in principles with Atiku's candidacy but because he lost all the structure that could make him win the primary and endorsed Atiku as a revenge on Bala Muhammad and Saraki!

HE WON BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND AND KNOWS HOW TO PLAY POLITICS.

While all we do down the Niger is too much TURENCHI.

All I can say to the poster is to be careful. That's all.

He helped Ihedioha defeat Okorocha, saved Obaseki from the jaw of defeat, installed Ayu as the Chairman yet these bunch of ingrates turned around to backstab him. Wike fought like a man unlike the bald headed coward that ran away to Labour. I believe Wike when he said they will suffer.

Oluwole news straight from Lagos ibadan expressway dailies. So na because of this lie, Tinubu go send fake sympathizers message. Orna no well, at all at all

You are very wrong Tambuwa has no moral justification because he stood no chance at the First place to Win, even at a time Nigerians were Sympathetic to carry South East cross

Fake news

Wike that couldn't win Atiku even with his dollar big chest like peter Obi , I laugh

Wike and Tinubu will see mehmeh

all the governors in your region, both past and sitting including Peter obi, non of them can match Wike in PDP or Tinubu in APC. Non of them are relevant in any of the two big parties. It pains me obi ran away before the election. He would have collected his embarrassement big time. But he ran away.

PrinceOfLagos:

Unfortunately bro, politics and tribalism goes hand to hand in this present day politics in Nigeria

Wike played tribal politics with Igbos but it backfired

you guys are nothing in this country. Why can't your own people win with dollar too. Or they don't have money?? Abi winning is for free??

PrinceOfLagos:

Unfortunately bro, politics and tribalism goes hand to hand in this present day politics in Nigeria

Wike played tribal politics with Igbos but it backfired

Look Wike Never played Tribal politics it was the leadership of the party that created this confusion because they were afraid to take a stand, Wike was waiting for the leaders to take a stand on which region gets the Barton, the leaders were Intimidated by Atiku,.
I bet to say that if powerful people like of Chief Tony Anneih of blessed memories and Ekweme, Obasanjo and others strong foundation leaders were there they would have taken a solid stand because those men could withstand Atiku intimidation anytime any day

Wike na sumol boy. If him do anti-party politics, na to kick am out. How many votes can he gather without rivers money outside Ikwerre LGA?

Make him go siddon, make men play politics. No more sentiments, na Akpor politics we go dey play now till everybody equity.

PaChukwudi44:
SS/SE region can never be controlled by one man unlike the SW.I know this story is fake but even if it is true,Wike can't influence beyond hid obio akpor LG.

Azikiwe called the shot in eastern region with NCNC, if any ibo man had successfully built a party beyond regional structures, such a man would naturally be so honored but unfortunately, with little mushroom APGA, you still can't build beyond a single state. Calm down and accept your 4th class status.

Atiku isn’t someone to rule this country o.
