2023: Peter Obi Reveals 'Deal' He Has With Wike, Ortom, Others

The Peter Obi Support Network has reacted to the meeting between former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi and Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike.

Naija News had earlier reported that the trio met in London on Thursday and the meeting had in attendance some governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Those at the meeting included the Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde and Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu.

Others present at the meeting include former Cross River State Governor, Donald Duke and Senator Olaka Nwogu.

In a chat with The Punch, the Spokesperson for the Peter Obi Support Network, Onwuasoanya Jones, said the meeting was about salvaging the country from imminent collapse.

Jones said the meeting is one out of several of such meetings that have been held and will still be held as the 2023 elections approach.

He asserted that there is a consensus among Nigerian patriots that Obi is the most reliable of the candidates to drive this vision

He said, “I can confirm that Peter Obi met with these PDP governors and our former President, His Excellency Chief Olusegun Obasanjo,  in London and I can tell you that this is one out of several such meetings that have been held and will still be held as we approach the 2023 elections.

“Of course, the discussion is centred on salvaging our dear country from an imminent collapse, and there is a consensus among Nigerian patriots that Peter Obi is the most reliable of the candidates to drive this vision.”
