“When the South-East said they were not consulted before Peter Obi was nominated, where did we meet as a party to agree that the Vice Presidential Candidate must come from the South-East. But we said if the Presidential Candidate believes he has somebody to work with, we said so be it “.

Mosesm:
Rivers State Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has denied nominating Mr Peter Obi as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) vice-presidential candidate.

Wike said the visit of four Southsouth governors to President Muhammadu Buhari had no political connotation, noting that the governors were in the Presidential Villa to discuss the development of Niger Delta.

He spoke in an interview with Channels Television Roadmap 2019.

Wike said: “I never nominated Peter Obi. But the mere fact that the Vice Presidential Candidate is coming from the South-East does not give the zone the sole right to nominate a person , since the entire country will benefit.

“When the South-East said they were not consulted before Peter Obi was nominated, where did we meet as a party to agree that the Vice Presidential Candidate must come from the South-East. But we said if the Presidential Candidate believes he has somebody to work with, we said so be it “.

On the new minimum wage, Wike said the review could only be sustained when the nation’s revenue sharing formula was reviewed.

“I will never oppose the upward review of minimum wage for workers. But the revenue sharing formula must be reviewed. Assuming a state like Zamfara gets N3 billion monthly, and their monthly wage bill is N4 billion, then the state will not survive. Labour should understand the situation.’’

“You cannot talk of sustainable new minimum wage when you have not reviewed the revenue sharing formula. More of the money should be moved from the Federal Government to the states that bear the burden of governance. If there is no review of the revenue sharing formula, then we are not being fair".

Hotfreezer:
Wike is throwing some subtle shades at the SE in this interview.

Firstly, he's saying that the SE doesn't have a right to decide who the VP is cos others would decide for it.

Secondly, the VP slot is not the right of the SE, it's open to anyone.

When politicians start talking like this, they are about to do something terrible. Wike has tricks up his sleeves and he won't waste time to throw Atiku under the bus.

A Wise man you are bro!

Atiku as President? Impossicant.

shutto:
How can you support Tambuwal and still fix primaries at Portharcourt after losing to Atiku and you expect Atiku to consult you on VP nomination.....Wike you are really dreaming

hush15:


Are you marketing someones head or the drawing? rituals is not allowed here o

hush15:


you lack simple comprehension. How does what he said implies he would vote for buhari.? what he said implied that Atiku was allowed to make his choice as long as it goes well with nigerians, the are ready to support.

Secondly, on the minimum wage, he has a point. Simply put, let state control their resources to cater for their demand. Somethimg Buhari doesnt have the will power. simply put, something only atiku can do....

Hotfreezer:


Did you notice Ipob miscreants are already attacking Wike on this thread?
