The Presidential Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has paid a visit to the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.
This is coming after Governor Wike lost the presidential primary election of the PDP to Atiku last Saturday.
The former Vice President who emerged the Presidential Candidate of the PDP defeated Wike with 371 votes. The Rivers State Governor scored 237 votes.
The Governor was widely said to have been disappointed by the result of the election especially what was termed as betrayal by Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, who withdrew at the last minute, making it difficult for him to respond to his decision.
He had been rumoured to be ready to support any other candidate but the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar.
The visit by the former Vice President is one to mend fences for the PDP to present a common front against the All Progressives Congress that is yet to elect a Presidential candidate for the 2023 Elections.
Atiku visited Wike along with some other party chieftains in his Asokoro, Abuja residence today.
