Recall that Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State had promised to give Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), logistics support for their campaign in the state.

Speaking at the event, Umahi said the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, needs votes from Rivers State and not logistics support.

According to Umahi, Ebonyi State is for the APC, and the Southeast state will vote overwhelmingly for Bola Tinubu.

Umahi told Wike: “Here, you are 99 percent in control because of what you’re doing for the people. And I want to commend you. And I thank you for not putting any kobo in Ebonyi again.

“In Ebonyi, I’m also the same way, because I have worked. So, there is no other party in Ebonyi; it’s only APC. And we don’t do sentiments. Our votes in Ebonyi will go to APC, will go to Asiwaju.

“Your excellency, my party, APC, we don’t need logistics. We’ve seen the presidential candidates come here and you are a doer of promise. And when you say you’ll give logistics support, we know you will.
