JUST IN: WIKE PROMISES LOGISTICS SUPPORT FOR PETER OBI’S CAMPAIGN
BY DAMILOLA LAWRENCE
The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has pledged to provide “logistics support” for the campaigns of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi on Thursday.
He said Obi, who was once a governor of Anambra State, has all the characteristic to lead Nigeria.
Wike made this known to the LP presidential candidate 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,” he said.
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’.
However, Wike and his associates 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.
