Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that after helping Obaseki cruise to reelection victory in Edo state, Wike vowed to visit Ondo as the constitution guarantees him the right.
The governor made this known on Tuesday, September 29, when he featured in a live television programme in Akure, Ondo state's capital.
Governor Wike has been perceived as a stumbling block that may pose a hurdle to Akeredolu's reelection considering his impact in the Edo election, prompting an alleged ploy channelled towards his possible visit.
