By our reporter| Governor Nyesom Wike’s romance with opposition political leaders continued this week with a meeting with the Labour party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Also at the meeting which was held at Wike’s private residence in Port Harcourt, the former governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko, ex- Cross River Governor, Donald Duke; Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom; Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, and Gombe State ex-governor, Ibrahim Dankwambo among others.
Although the purpose of the meeting could not be ascertained, it may however not be unconnected with the 2023 general elections.
Former Ondo State governor, Olusegun Mimiko, who shared a photo from the gathering said that it was nice to spend some time with them.
Monday’s meeting with Obi is the second time Wike met with the LP presidential candidate following their earlier meeting in July.
Just like the previous meeting, the motive for the latest meeting was not made public by either of the politicians.
The Rivers Governor has been meeting with top politicians recently, especially those from other political divides following his disagreement with the PDP hierarchy over their handling of the party’s presidential primary which he lost to Atiku Abubakar.
He has been hosting top opposition political figures, fuelling speculations he may not work for the PDP in the 2023 presidential elections.
