The Rivers state Governor, Nyesom Wike is now in Ilorin, the Kwara state capital, for official and pro-Nigeria engagements.
Wike is accompanied by Senator George Sekibo, Senator Adawari Pepple and the member Representing Tai/Eleme/Oyigbo Federal Constituency, Dr Barry Mpigi who recently defected to the PDP.
The governor is attending a meeting in Kwara state with his Benue counterpart, Governor Samuel Ortom who recently announced his resignation from the All Progressives Congress, APC, for a yet-to-be-determined political party.
The two governors are attending a meeting with Senate President Bukola Saraki and the Kwara state Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed.
Recall that the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, who had earlier visited Wike in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, was yesterday welcomed in Ilorin, Kwara state, by a mammoth crowd on his first visit to the State after his vindication by the Supreme Court over false assets declaration charges.
Also, there has been rumour about Saraki and Ahmed wanting to live the APC for the PDP and today’s meeting many believed is geared towards making the move a reality.
