2023: Again, Wike Meets Peter Obi, others




Ahead of the 2023 general elections, the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has again met with the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, among other politicians.
At the meeting held on Monday night at Wike’s private residence in Port Harcourt was the former governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko even as it also learnt 
It was learnt that the Rivers governor 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 that 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 comes about after Wike met with the LP presidential candidate. Just like the previous meeting, the motive for the latest meeting was not made public by either of the politicians.
Similarly, Mimiko last met with Wike in his private residence in Port Harcourt on Thursday, August 11, just as he had met with top politicians recently, especially those from other political divides.
Wike has been hosting top political figures, fuelling speculations that he may dump the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, after falling out with some of the party’s leaders.
Although Wike has repeatedly pledged his loyalty to the main opposition party, his body language suggests he would not be willing to work for the PDP presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
