Governor Nyesom Wike on Tuesday July 19, hosted former Governor of Zamafara State, Abdulazizi Yari, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Katsina State, Sen. Yakubu Lado Danmarke, and the PDP governorship candidate in Kano State, Alhaji Mohammed Abacha in Port Harcourt, Rivers state capital.
After Yari arrived Wike’s residence in Rumuopirikom with his entourage, they proceeded to the governor’s sitting room where they had a closed door meeting.
Shortly after Yari left, Danmarke and Abacha arrived at Wike’s house and had a closed door meeting.
Though outcome of the meetings was not disclosed to journalists, it is however speculated that the visit of the high profile politicians was not unconnected to the ongoing political horse trading aimed at lobbying Wike to remain in PDP.
