Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State on Thursday has pledged to provide “logistics support” for the campaigns of Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Wike also said Obi, a former Anambra State governor, has all the characteristic to lead Nigeria. The Rivers governor made this known to the LP presidential candidate in Port Harcourt, the state capital, at the venue of the Nkpolu-Oroworokwo Flyover inauguration.
“Each time you want to campaign in the state, let me know, all the logistics support, we will give to you,” Wike told Obi.
Obi and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed were in the state capital to commission the 9th flyover by the present administration. They were excitedly received by a large crowd of their supporters known as ‘Obidients’.
For months, Wike and four other governors in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have demanded the resignation of Iyorchia Ayu as PDP national chairman as a precondition to support the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
While Wike and his allies have not been seen to campaign for Atiku, it is not clear whether they will support Obi, or Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the contest for Aso Rock’s top job which has been described by analysts and keen observers as a three-horse race.
Nice one sir, a wise decision it is…
I love you my amazing Governor, you are the best. You can really play the game of politics well/better than any. Carry on with your visions, you are not alone Wike.
Nice move
A foresighted pledge, the North do not have monopoly of anything in Nigeria. Wike is a Great son of the South.
