The Wednesday meeting with Wike came as a surprise to many political watchers especially being the first since Senator Kalu left office as governor in 2007.
Though details of the meeting could not be ascertained as at the moment of filing this report, it may not be unconnected with the former Abia governor’s campaign to woo more PDP bigwigs into the APC.
