Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has met the United States Consul-General to Nigeria, John Bray, and the Political Officer of the British High Commission in Nigeria, Louis Edwards.
The joint meeting, which lasted about one hour, had the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus; Deputy Governor, Ipalibo Harry Banigo, Rivers State PDP Chairman, Felix Obuah and Senator Lee Maeba in attendance.
The diplomats visited Governor Wike on the heels of mass arrests of PDP leaders by security agencies.
Rivers State government and the PDP had issued several statements alerting the world on the illegal activities of security agencies ahead of the elections.
Governor Wike tabled the concerns of the government and people of the state before the American Embassy and the British High Commission.
At the end of the meeting, the diplomats declined comments, as they left to continue with the 2019 governorship and State Assembly elections in the state.
