Wike Reveals Why Babachir Lawal Is Angry With President Tinubu

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, disclosed the reason behind Babachir Lawal's anger towards President Tinubu. Lawal reportedly anticipated being chosen as Tinubu's running mate for the 2023 presidential election but was overlooked in favor of another minister.

Wike revealed that Lawal expressed his displeasure during a visit to his house in Port Harcourt, stating that Lawal is still upset over being snubbed. Despite efforts by former Borno State Governor, Shettima, to mediate, Lawal remains resentful.

Wike made these revelations in an interview with Channels Television on Tuesday. Lawal's disappointment highlights the political tensions and rivalries within the ruling party as preparations for the upcoming presidential election intensify.
