Former Vice President and 2023 Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has visited Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, in his Abuja residence.
The Former Vice President who emerged as the Presidential Candidate of the PDP on Saturday defeated Governor Wike with 371 votes to 237 votes.
The Governor was widely said to have been disappointed by the result of the election, especially what was termed as a 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 by the former ruling party and present a common front against the All Progressives Congress (APC) who are yet to elect a Presidential candidate for the 2023 Elections.
The Monday meeting, it was gathered, was to reconcile the two-party chieftains and give the PDP a robust outing in the 2023 presidential election against the ruling All Progressives Congress.
The meeting was also attended by former Ekiti State Governor and PDP presidential aspirant, Ayodele Fayose, amongst other PDP chieftains.
