A former governor of one of the North-West states told our correspondent in confidence that Makinde’s moves were a reflection of “real politicking.”
“The governor knows the choice before his people. Being on the ballot, he knows he can’t dump Atiku just like that. I am aware that he had a secret meeting with Atiku recently where both men agreed to work together,” the northern governor added. While noting that the party never had any doubt about the governor’s commitment, Osadolor said Wike would soon realise that he is living in delusion with his plan of declaring support for a rival presidential candidate.
Makinde just need to be careful, so Wike won't distract him to deliver his promises to his people, and won't affect his political career.
