Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, is currently on vacation in Turkey with his Abia State counterpart, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu.

Photos of the governors relaxing by the shores of the Aegean Sea were posted on Wike official Twitter handle on Tuesday, June 28.

“Finally enjoying a much-needed vacation in Turkey with my brother, @GovernorIkpeazu” the post read.

Wike was elected as a two-term Executive Chairman of Obio Akpor Local Government Area from 1999 to 2007.

He was appointed Minister of State for Education on 14 July 2011. Wike was later appointed the Acting Minister of Education, after Mrs Ruqqayatu was sacked but resigned before finishing his term to campaign for Governor of Rivers State. He was replaced by Viola Onwuliri.

In 2014, he won the Rivers State People’s Democratic Party primary and chose former Secretary to the State Government Ipalibo Banigo as his running mate for deputy governor.
