Hero without structure, Peter Obi, is moving fast to beef up his base.
He, on Wednesday, visited Rivers State Governor, Peter Obi, in a move believed to be a strategic one towards getting him into the party.
Wike appears to be angry at the way his Peoples Democratic Party treated him during the party’s presidential primaries and their aftermath – especially Atiku Abubaakar’s failure to pick him as his running ate.
The PDP’s presidential candidate settled for Governor Ifeanyi Okowo of Delta State.
While the PDP is also planning to reach out tp Wike, Obi will have a big boost in him if he is able to get him, especially in terms of the financial the governor of the relatively rich Rivers can bring.
But whether or not Obi’s fanatical supporters will be veryhappy seeing a popular member of the ‘old order’ in the mix may be another question.
