Unconfirmed information suggests that also in the meeting was Mr. Imoke’s Chief of Staff, Alex Egbonna.
They were received by Imoke who then led them inside and after a short meeting cane out to declare that it was not a political meeting.

“Beyond politics, we have(a) brotherly connection among ourselves. I am happy for all of you for coming,” Imoke said.
The trio later left and when Governor Ben Ayade arrived at past 4PM, Owan-Enoh returned and went straight to greet him.
