As part of his earlier promise to visit the rivals he defeated at the recent PDP presidential primary, Atiku had on Monday paid a courtesy call on Wike who came second in the primary election alongside other aspirants.

Wike’s return of the visit may not be unconnected with PDP’s search for Atiku’s running mate.

The Rivers State Governor came second at the primary election with 237 votes while the winner, Atiku, polled 371 votes with the help of Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, who had stepped down and asked his supporters to vote for the former vice president.
