Wike To Declare Stand On Who To Back – Rivers Governor’s Ally
EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Governor Nyesom Wike’s close ally, former Senator Olaka Wogu has said the Rivers State Governor would make his intention known at the right time on the presidential candidate he would be supporting in 2023.
This online media platform gathered that Wike had met with the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, and that of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, fueling speculations that he might be making moves to back another candidate other than that of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.

Speaking to The PUNCH, Wogu said, “Wike has said he would openly declare his stand when we get to that point. He had a meeting with his leaders the other time and took a decision to withdraw from the campaign council. It is not unilateral because all the leaders came, spoke at the meeting and the decision was reached. You can’t do this kind of thing by yourself.
