Ahead of the 2023 General Elections, the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, who lost the ticket of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has now turned political bride in faraway London, as no fewer than three major political blocs have approached him seeking alliances.

Since losing the PDP presidential ticket and Vice Presidential slot, Wike has continued to lay the mines in the path of the main opposition PDP through controversial invitations to and meeting with high-profile members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), while also attacking members of his party.
Since, relocating to London on a visit, Wike has openly and secretly welcomed several political groups at his abode.
This week alone, the rivers State Governor has met with the camp of the APC presidential standard bearer, Asiwaju Bola Ahned Tinubu, including meeting the candidate in person.
Later, Wike also played host to former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, Thursday, who led the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and others in London.
