Seyi Makinde, the governor of Oyo State, Nyesom Wike, the outgone governor of Rivers State, and James Ibori, the former governor of Delta, all met with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu yesterday.

About four and a half hours earlier, Mr. Herbert Wigwe, the Chief Executive Officer of Access Holding Plc, who had visited the President’s office, had entered the Villa.

The meeting’s agenda was kept a secret. However, in separate interviews with reporters afterward, Makinde and Wike expressed their support for the Federal Government’s decision on fuel subsidies.

Makinde said: “It’s something that is on top of public discuss right now. We know it’s a tough decision for the people and he needs the support of everybody to see this through.”

On his part, Wike said: “We came to give him (President) support.

We are in support all the decisions he is taking. It shows that he is prepared for the job and there is nothing bad about that. It requires tough decisions for a country to move forward.”
