The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, on Tuesday met with political heavyweights across the country.
Those in the meeting which held in government house Port Harcourt are governors Samuel Ortom, Nyesom Wike, Okezie Ikpeazu, former governors Donald Duke and Ibrahim Dankwambo, former Attorney General of the Federation, Mohammed Adoke, SAN, Olusegun Mimiko and others.
It’s not clear yet the purpose of the meeting, but AFRIPOST gathered that the aspiration of Peter Obi ahead of the 2023 election was the centre of the discussion.
Recall that Wike and a few other Governors, including Samuel Ortom are aggrieved over how the presidential candidate of their party, the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar handled issues after the presidential primary of the party.
Instead of going for Wike who came second in the primary as recommended by the party’s committee, Atiku opted for Ifeanyi Okowa.
The development has further angered Wike who had said he would speak in due time.
