Wike Denies Rift with Tinubu, Absence from Meeting Due to Engagements

Governor Wike of Rivers State refutes claims of a rift with Tinubu, explaining his absence from a Council of State meeting in Abuja was due to prior official engagements. Wike dismissed media reports of discord and emphasized focusing on delivering tangible results.

The controversy arose from Wike's non-attendance at the meeting where the nomination of Prof. Joash Amupitan as INEC chairman was approved.

Wike urged his team to remain focused on project delivery and praised President Buhari's leadership.
