Wike Leaps For Joy As He Meets Buhari

When Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State, visited with President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday, he seemed to lose his usually recurring ill disposition.

They first connected during the Body of Benchers Complex’s opening ceremony in Abuja.

Wike alongside his allies in the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was absent when the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar inaugurated his campaign council on Wednesday.

Their absence from the event was believed to be lined to their demand for the removal of Iyorcha Ayu as the national chairman of the party, an agitation not supported by Atiku.

However, the Rivers State Governor was all laughter on Thursday as he excitedly shake the President who was in the company of Chairman Body of Benchers, Chief Wole Olanipekun, Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, and other dignitaries at the event.
