Ahead of the 2023 general elections, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has again met with the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
Also at the meeting which was held on Monday night at Wike’s private residence in Port Harcourt was the former governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko.
DailySentinelnews gathered that the Rivers State leader also met with 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.
Taking to Twitter on Tuesday, Mimiko shared a photo with the politicians, saying it was nice to spend some time with them.
“Nice to share some time last night with @GovWike @Donald_Duke @PeterObi @HEDankwambo @GovSamuelOrtom, @GovernorIkpeazu, Mohammed Adoke SAN and many other friends,” he tweeted.
Monday’s meeting with Obi came after Wike met with the LP presidential candidate.
Just like in past meetings, the readon for the latest meeting was not made public.
Similarly, Mimiko last met with Wike in his private residence in Port Harcourt on Thursday, August 11.
The Rivers Governor has been meeting with top politicians recently, especially those from other political divides.
He has been hosting top political figures, fuelling speculations that he may dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after failing to clinch the party’s presidential ticket.
Although Wike has repeatedly pledged his loyalty to the main opposition party, his body language suggests he may not be working for Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections. (Channels TV)
