Wike Describes Peter Obi As His Hero In 2023 Presidential Election

Wike has described Peter Obi as his hero in the 2023 presidential election.

 

Glamtush reports that Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike has described Labour Party (LP) candidate, Peter Obi, as the hero of the 2023 presidential election for scuttling the chances of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar, thereby preventing the North from holding on to power.

The governor knocked his predecessor and immediate past Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, for wooing Igbos in Rivers to vote for All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Tonye Cole, as governor whereas he allegedly mobilized votes for Atiku in the presidential polls.

Chairmen of the Computer Dealers Association, Anunobi Ikechi and the Building Materials Traders Association, Okwudiri Onuorah, assured the governor of their support for Rivers PDP to go
