Real Reason I Didn’t Support Obi, Igbo Presidency – Wike by valentineuwakwe(m): 10:20pm On Mar 10, 2023
Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has said he did not support the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr Peter Obi overtly at the Feb. 25 election because nobody discussed Igbo presidency with him.

According to NAN, Publicity Secretary of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide, Dr Alex Ogbonnia, stated on Friday in Enugu that Wike made the declaration at a meeting the socio-political group had with him in Port Harcourt on Thursday.

Ogbonnia stated that at the meeting, Ohaneze Ndigbo confronted Wike over his alleged role against Obi during the presidential election.

He stated that Gov. Wike expressed surprise that Ohanaeze was on a fact-finding mission and would explain his role in the presidential election.

According to Ogbonnia, the Rivers governor explained that the Southern Governors Forum first met at Asaba and agreed that power must shift to the South after President Muhammadu Buhari.

He also explained that the governors later met in Enugu in September 2021 to reaffirm their position for power to shift to the South.

He stated that throughout the meetings, “the issue of presidency to the Southeast was never on the table.’’

Wike also explained that throughout his political adventure, he tried as much as possible to maintain the position of the Southern governors.

Wike expressed disgust that during the PDP presidential primary election, several well-known people of the Southeast betrayed him and sabotaged the Southern interest by voting for a candidate from the northern part.

He added that his unalloyed commitment to the South motivated him “to provide logistics for Obi when he was in Rivers for the presidential campaign’’.

Wike noted that conversely, he refused to provide even a campaign ground for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of his own Peoples Democratic Party.

The governor further stated that “what is circulating in the social media is the handiwork of Wike adversaries.’’

I am a man with the courage of my convictions and have no reasons to tell lies or to owe an apology to anyone.

“I am always ready to defend my actions any day and at any time, and I did not rig the presidential election against Obi,’’ Ogbonnia quoted Wike as having said.

Oga wike, Nobody cares if you support BAT or CAT. That one na your choice. And you get right to your choice.

But robbing and manipulating the votes of the good people of rivers state is an abomination that has soiled your hands forever.

So, was Obi an Igbo project or an instrument of change that Nigerians crave for? I don’t get it anymore

Obi was, is and will remain a NIGERIAN PROJECT.
That is exactly why he won the election.
And that is why his mandate WILL be recovered.
You have to understand that there are some forces whose interest it is that Nigeria will remain a backward and stagnant country.
The unfortunate thing is that some of the real victims of that evil scheme are supporting the scheme due to tribalism.

I wait to see who and who Tinubu will appoint as CBN governor and finance minister,cos this country needs total economic overhaul.

I don't expect much from Tinubu but I wish and pray he proves me wrong.
