After a grueling political engagements, Rivers State
Governor, Nyesom Wike, and former presidential aspirant of the main opposition
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has left the shores of the country for a holiday
in Turkey.
Wike Tuesday shared some pictures of his vacation on his
official Twitter handle where posed with his Abia State counterpart, Okezie
Ikpeazu, former Commissioner for Sports in Rivers State, Boma Iyaye and Marcus
Nlee.
Wike tweeted, “Finally in Turkey for a much needed vacation
with my brother, Governor Okezie Ikpaezu”.
It would be recalled that the governor has been involved lately in closed door meetings with some top politicians who visited his country home shortly after the 2022 PDP presidential primaries and controversial selection of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as running mate.
Only last week, Wike met with Peter Obi, presidential
candidate of the Labor Party, Governor David Umahi of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigerian People’s Party, NNPP
and the Bauchi State Governor and former presidential aspirant, Senator Bala
Mohammed of the PDP in his private residence in Port Harcourt, the state
capital.
The visits were sequel to a strong rumor of Wike’s alleged
plan to dump the opposition party after failing to make the cut in becoming a
running mate to the flag bearer of the party for the 2023 election, Atiku
Abubakar.
Recall that Governor Wike came second in the May 28/29
presidential primary which was won by the former Vice President, Atiku
Abubakkar who garnered over a thousand votes to beat other contenders.
Atiku in turn disappointed not a few party stakeholders when
he dumped Wike and rooted for the Governor of Delta state, Ifeanyi Okies as his
running mate, a choice that has sparked general condemnation by party faithful.
Though, it is unclear when the disaffected Wike will return
from his holidays. But insiders hinted that the governor may return with a far
reaching political decision that may leave everyone agape.
