Former Vice Presidential placeholder for the All Progressives Congress, Ibrahim Masari has confirmed that the presidential candidate of the party, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is in talks with Nyesome Wike of Rivers state.
In an interview with BBC Hausa service, Masari stated that he is confident Wike would work for the APC candidate in the 2023 general elections.
“The meeting was basically on the 2023 presidential election and, by God’s grace, we are going to work with governor Nyesom Wike, he will assist and we are going to win the election with ease, by the will of God,” the politician said.
“This is because Wike is a big politician, a governor and has control in some other states apart from his state. He is good to the people and has associated with his people peacefully. By the grace of God, he will be of help to us.
“If you could remember, it was APC that caused the failure of APC in Bauchi; it was members of the party that led to the defeat of the governor from their own party. In Adamawa, too. So, what I want people to understand, someone can still assist you even without joining your party if he wants to.
“With the widespread acceptance of His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Nigerians, I can assure you, by the will of God, he is going to win the election, with or without help.”
