Following the meeting, Governor Wike and his counterparts chose not to disclose the contents of their discussion in advance of the 2023 general elections.
But in a talk with Newsmen on Thursday, a close friend of Governor Wike said, “They (visitors and host) clearly had no need to divulge their motivations.
“Be at as it may, the meeting was all about negotiating mutual interest for the 2023 elections, particularly for the presidential elections.
“They want to see how they can campaign and vote for a common presidential candidate. Nothing more, nothing less.”

Because of injustice within the party, Governor Wike and his friends kept their ground and refused to support Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate.
The PDP Governors, sometimes known as the G-5, denounced northern domination in influential party positions and demanded the resignation of Iyorchia Ayu, the party’s national leader.
