What can be termed the scrambling for Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has turned more dramatic as former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, have met him in London.
The meeting comes about two days after he met with the All Progressives Congress’ presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, in the same top European city.
Wike is at loggerheads with the leadership of his own party, over its residential candidate Atiku Abibakar’s decision not to make he running mate.
As ‘The Punch’ reports, although details of the meeting were still sketchy as of the time of filing this report, The PUNCH learnt that it was part of negotiations ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
Wike attended the meeting with his allies including Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State; Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State; Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State and former Cross River State Governor, Donald Duke, among others.
It was, however, gathered that a meeting between Wike and the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, will also hold in London later today.
