Wike Officially Declares Support For Peter Obi, Says ‘You Have All Characteristics To Lead Nigeria’

Wike has officially declared his support for the Labour Party Presidential flagbearer, Mr Peter Obi.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike on Thursday said the presidential flagbearer of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi has all the “characteristics” to lead Nigeria.

Wike also pledged to provide logistics support for the presidential campaigns of Obi in the State.

Wike made this known 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.

“I know you as a person, you have all the criteria, you have all the characteristics to lead this country, you have it. Nobody can deny that for you.”

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.
