"We are here to answer to a greater, higher calling. That calling is the love of Nigeria. We dare not miss this chance because we cannot be sure of another.”

The tweet comes days after Tinubu met with the Governor of Rivers state and a few of his colleagues in the PDP in London.

Confirming the meeting, Governor Wike explained his motive for the closed-door sections when he spoke to news men in Port Harcourt on Friday, August 26.

The Rivers state governor said the discussion centred on non-partisan topics, but on issues affecting everyone in the country.

However, Tinubu has not officially commented on the meeting.

Meanwhile, a recent report claimed that Wike demanded that if Tinubu wins the presidential election, which comes first, he will ensure he does not influence the outcome of the governorship and House of Assembly polls in Rivers, Benue, Oyo and Abia states, so that candidates in his camp and those of the other governors could win maintain control of the states.
