Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, Presidential Candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), visited Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, on Friday.
He met Wike less than 24 hours after Peter Obi, Presidential Candidate of Labour Party, visited the Rivers governor in Poert Harcourt.
There has been uneasy calm in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over the romance of Wike with politicians form other parties.
Wike’s hope to become the running mate of the PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, was dashed on June 16 when the latter picked Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa against the recommendation of the party’s advisory council on the running mate selection.
The council had reportedly recommended Wike who came second at the May 28 presidential primary with 237 votes.
Multiple sources in Wike’s camp said he had been livid with the way he was ‘edged out’.
Daily Trust reports that since Atiku picked Okowa, Wike has been romancing with chieftains of the APC and the LP.
This is believed to have made Wike’s private residence located at Ada George Road in Port Harcourt a beehive of activities.
Below are pictures of Kwankwaso’s visit:
