The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 elections in Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has reacted to reports that he met with five aggrieved governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in London, United Kingdom.
The reaction of the National Leader of the APC was contained in a statement issued by his Media Office on Saturday.
The statement was signed by Alhaji Tunde Rahman.
There had been reports of a meeting between the G5 Governors, led by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, with Tinubu on Thursday.
Other governors who belong to the G5 are Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, Samuel Ortom of Benue State, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State.
They had since returned to Nigeria.
Speaking on the reported meeting, Rahman denied Tinubu met with the G5.
He said despite the fact that it was the right of the former Governor of Lagos State to meet with anyone he wishes to, Tinubu was only in London to take a rest from his busy schedules and then go to Saudi Arabia from there for the lesser hajj, known as Unrah.
