JUST IN: Wike Promises ‘Logistics Assistance’ To Peter Obi’s Campaign
Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike pledged on Thursday to provide “logistics support” for the campaigns of Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi.
Wike also stated that Obi, a former Anambra State governor, possesses all of the qualities required to lead Nigeria.
The Rivers governor informed the LP presidential candidate of this in Port Harcourt, the state capital, at the inauguration of the Nkpolu-Oroworokwo Flyover.
“Every time you want to campaign in the state, let me know, and we’ll give you all the logistical support you need,” Wike told Obi.
Obi and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, were in the state capital to dedicate the current administration’s ninth flyover. They were greeted enthusiastically 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 PDP national chairman Iyorchia Ayu as a condition for supporting the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
While Wike and his allies have not been seen campaigning for Atiku, it is unclear whether they will back Obi or Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the race for Aso Rock’s top job, which analysts and keen observers have described as a three-horse race.
