The political differences between Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, and his Edo State counterpart, Godwin Obaseki, was once again brought to the fore when Wike took his 2023 presidential campaign train to Benin City, and conveniently avoided the Government House and the host governor, IgbereTV reports
Wike who was in Edo on Thursday in continuation of his consultations and meetings with delegates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the party’s convention to pick its presidential candidate for the 2023 presidential elections, did not also visit the state party secretariat, while Obaseki was also conspicuously absent at the meeting with party delegates.
Wike, however, visited the palace of the Oba of Benin, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Ewuare II, and later met with the party’s delegates at the residence of late Chief Tony Anenih, the former Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the PDP
