On Thursday, Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike vowed to offer “logistics assistance” to Peter Obi’s presidential campaign on behalf of the Labour Party (LP).
Wike said that Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, had all the necessary qualities to lead Nigeria.
At the site of the Nkpolu-Oroworokwo Flyover ceremony in Port Harcourt, the state capital, the Rivers governor informed the LP presidential candidate of this.
The logistics assistance would be provided to you any time you choose to run for office in the state, Wike assured Obi.
The ninth flyover built by the current administration was dedicated in the state capital by Obi and his running companion, Datti Baba-Ahmed. A sizable group of “Obidients,” or their fans, greeted them with enthusiasm.
In order to support the Peoples Democratic Party (PDPpresidential )’s candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Wike and four other governors have for months sought the resignation of Iyorchia Ayu as PDP national chairman.
It is unclear if Wike and his friends will back Obi or Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the fight for Aso Rock’s top post, which experts and sharp watchers have described as a three-horse race, despite the fact that they have not been seen to endorse Atiku.
