The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has again met with Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, at the governor’s private residence in Port Harcourt.

The meeting held on Monday night was attended by the former governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko.

Although the purpose of the meeting could not be immediately ascertained, it may however not be unconnected with the 2023 general election.

Obi, in June, met with Wike behind closed doors.
