2023: Peter Obi Begs Wike Publicly To Support His Presidential Bid

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, has pleaded with Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State, to let him win Rivers State in the presidential election while the Labour Party backs PDP in the governorship contest.

On Thursday in Port Harcourt, Obi made the request during the Nkpolu Oroworukwo flyover’s commissioning ceremony.

Obi said he will not challenge the governor over the governorship seat in the state but Governor Wike should also leave the federal election for him.

According to Obi, the interest of Rivers State will be adequately protected when he becomes president.

In his words: ” I will talk to my people and we will negotiate. If we leave the state for him (Wike) he will leave the centre for us. We will negotiate it.”

”We will not quarrel with you. Please give us this one (centre) and collect the other one (state). I will accommodate them ( Rivers state) in the other one.” Remember this agreement today. I’m kneeling down and begging, take this one (state) give me this one (centre). I assure you the one I will take, I will use it to make sure Rivers State becomes better and better.”

Obi at the commencement of his speech had referred to the governorship candidate of the PDP in Rivers State as the “incoming governor.”
