The source said Tinubu’s deal with the governors is pending further consultations with APC’s party structures in Rivers, Benue, Abia, Enugu and Oyo States.

According to the source, “Yes, a deal has been reached; however, negotiations are still going on; we have a formidable structure in all these states (Benue, Rivers, Oyo, Abia, Enugu), so we have to go back and consult this with structures. You know Bola Ahmed Tinubu is an experienced Politician; he wants to do further consultation on the matter.”
