Wike Speaks On Working Against Peter Obi, Other Southern Candidates

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has denied working against the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, or plotting against other southern candidates in the February 25th presidential election.

Naija News reports that Wike made this known through his Chief of Staff, Emeka Woke, during a strategic meeting with petroleum marketers in Rivers State.

Woke claimed that Wike’s position during the presidential election was based on the principles of equity, fairness, and Justice.

According to him, Wike did not hide his position on zoning the presidency to the south.

Woke said: “You can agree with me that there are a lot of insinuations and misinformation that his excellency worked against the Labour Party presidential candidate.

 “I want to stand here to tell you and of course, you know that his excellency is a man who will stand by his words any time any day and speak his mind.

“His excellency did not work against any southern presidential candidate. The position of his excellency is that of equity and fairness.

“The north has done their eight years and so it is time for the south. That is his excellency’s position. He did not hide it, he spoke about it. And so my brothers, there is nothing to shy away from because our hands are clean.”
