Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, played host to the former governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari, at his private residence in Rumuepirikom in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of the State on Tuesday.

Governor Wike and his guest, Yari, together with his delegation later had a closed-door meeting.

The reason for the visit or issues discussed were not made known to newsmen by any of the parties.

After Yari left, the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate of Katsina State, Senator Yakubu Lado and that of Kano State, Mohammad Abacha, also came visiting.

Senator Lado told journalists after the closed-door meeting they had with Wike that they were on a courtesy visit to pay homage to their friend and brother.
