About 17 governorship candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party met with the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, behind closed doors late yesterday.
The candidates were said to have arrived Port Harcourt at about 8pm and immediately went into the meeting with their host.
Though what was discussed in the meeting was not disclosed, there are indications that it could be linked to the 2023 elections and the party’s chances in view of the current crisis rocking it.
A source, who pleaded anonymity, disclosed to correspondents that the candidates visit seemed to be on a plea bargain for Wike to support the Presidential Candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, his running mate, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, as well as the party’s National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu.
