Oyo Governor Makinde Meets Tinubu Amid PDP Rift Over 2023 Presidency

Oyo Governor Seyi Makinde held a closed-door meeting with Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, following tensions within the PDP over the 2023 presidential candidacy. The rift stemmed from Nyesom Wike's alleged political commitments to Tinubu without consulting PDP stakeholders.

Makinde, a key figure in the opposition PDP, aims to protect the party's survival amidst internal disagreements. The meeting signifies a complex political landscape as various governors, including Wike, express differing views on supporting Tinubu's potential presidential bid.
