The Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, on Friday exposed the outcome of his meeting with the All Progressive Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
Wike in his ongoing media parley revealed that Bola Tinubu approached him to join the ruling party with a senatorial ticket.
According to the Rivers State Governor, the former Lagos State governor offered him the ticket after the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, failed to fulfill his promise after he emerged as the PDP’s presidential flagbearer.
Wike further explained that he turned down the offer adding that he told Tinubu that he would remain in the main opposition party, despite his problem with the party.
He stated that he never contested the primary to settle for a vice-presidential or senatorial ticket.
“I didn’t contest so I can become a vice presidential candidate, I am not like others who were not serious and bought senatorial form alongside presidential form and that’s why when Tinubu offered me senate slot, I didn’t go for it,’’ Wike said.
