Wike Reveals Rift Between Makinde and Tinubu Over Denied Ministerial Slot

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike disclosed that Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde's rift with Bola Tinubu stemmed from Makinde's failure to secure a ministerial appointment. Makinde's support for Tinubu's 2023 presidential bid further strained their relationship.
