I Must Provide Logistics Support For Peter Obi – Wike

Rivers state Governor, Nyesom Wike says he has no regret whatsoever to have pledged “logistics support” for the campaigns of Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi in the state.

Wike said this on Friday night at a banquet organized by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers for the PDP G5 governors who are in Port Harcourt for the party’s state-level campaign flag-off on Saturday.

The Rivers governor had on Thursday made the promise to Obi, who commissioned the Nkpolu-Oroworokwo Flyover in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

Wike had also said Obi, who is a former governor of Anambra State has all the features to lead Nigeria.

The Rivers governor has since gotten criticisms from certain quarters for his support for Obi at the expense of his party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

However, on Friday night, Wike said, “They said I said I’m supporting Obi, I have no regret to say: Obi is a former governor, if he is coming to Rivers State to campaign, I will give him logistics support, I will give him security.

“A former governor? Should I say I will not give him vehicles? I will not give him security? I won’t do that; I must give him logistics support.”

The former minister, however, said Labour Party can’t get any of the seats in the state in next year’s election.
