Tinubu Offered Me A Senatorial Ticket After Atiku Broke His Promise – Wike

The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has come out to say that the All Progressive Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu wooed him to join the ruling party with a senatorial ticket.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the former Lagos State governor actually offered him the ticket after the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar failed to fulfil his promise once he emerged as the PDP’s presidential flagbearer, but he still turned it down.

Wike added that he intends to remain in the main opposition party despite his grievances.

His words, “I didn’t contest so I can become a vice presidential candidate, I am not like others who were not serious and bought senatorial form alongside presidential form and that’s why when Tinubu offered me senate slot, I didn’t go for it.”

“Aside from Tinubu, who is from the APC, other political parties are talking to me as well including Labour Party because they all know my worth and how I can ensure that they win the 2023 poll. But I have not accepted any of the offers presented by those parties.”
