Mr. Ibori was said to have worked for the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the last general elections as his candidate for the PDP governorship election lost to the candidate of the former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
There had been unconfirmed rumour that Ibori might soon defect to the APC, having lost control of the PDP in Delta State.
Mr. Wike, on his part, is having a running battle with the leadership of the PDP.
