A day after the former Vice President and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the embittered Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Nyesom Wike met in Abuja, in a move aimed at resolving the differences in the main opposition party ahead of the 2023 general elections, Wike has ordered removal of all PDP flags in the Government House
It was gathered that governor Wike instructed the Rivers state Government house CSO to pull down all PDP Flags in the Government House

Speaking on the reconciliatory moves by the party, Walid Jibril, the PDP BoT chairman said the meeting will generate “strong recommendations” that will lead to the reconciliation of aggrieved members, including Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers state.
