As Campaigns Hit Crescendo, Peter Obi Of The Labour Party To Enjoy Logistic Support From Gov. Nyesom Wike Of Rivers State.

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike pledged on Thursday to provide “logistics support” for the campaigns of Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi.

Wike also stated that Obi, a former Anambra State governor, possesses all of the qualities required to lead Nigeria.

The Rivers governor informed the LP presidential candidate of this in Port Harcourt, the state capital, at the inauguration of the Nkpolu-Oroworokwo Flyover.

“Each time you want to campaign in the state, let me know, all the logistics support, we will give to you,” Wike told Obi.

Obi and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, were in the state capital to commission the current administration’s ninth flyover. They were greeted enthusiastically by a large crowd of their ‘Obidients’ supporters.

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.
