Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) has given reason he paid a visit to Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.<\/p>\n

Obi visited the former presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at his private residence in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

While details of the meeting remains sketchy, the former Anambra State Governor, hours later, took to his official Twitter handle to give a hint on why he met Wike.<\/p>\n
