Less than 72 hours after their previous meeting, former Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike has held another closed door meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The reason for the meeting is currently under wrap but inside sources at the Villa hinted that it may not be unconnected with Wike’s quest to get political rewards for his part in ensuring victory for the president in the February 25 presidential election.

He came into the President’s office at about 2.33 pm in the company of former governors Goodwill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom) and Dave Umahi (Ebonyi).

Just like Wike, Umahi had met with the President last Friday in his office.

The New Diplomat had earlier reported that Wike was with Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State and former Delta State governor, James Ibori for the Friday meeting.

Even though details of their discussion are not available, it may not be unconnected with ministerial positions and Principal Officers’ posts of the National Assembly.
