Mr. Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has reacted to the rumors of the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike indirectly working for the All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in an interview on Wednesday at the World Press Conference in Port Harcourt.
Obi, who was asked by the one of the journalists about his view on the alleged reports that Nyesom Wike, the Rivers State Governor is indirectly working for the APC presidential candidate, Tinubu, said that everyone have their own choices and they have reasons for their choices.
The journalist asked, “Recently the Gov of Rivers State, everybody knows that he is in opposition to his own presidential candidate, and there are speculations were he would swing, but feedback coming from his house shows that he may he more favourable to the campaign of your political adversary, Tinubu, as opposed to you. Does that bother you or affect you in any way, how do you see that?”.
Mr. Peter Obi reiterated that he’s the best candidate for the job and that he understands the people of the Niger Delta as he’s committed to rebuilding Rivers State.
In answer peter obi said, “Well, ordinarily, these are the things I don’t make comment on. Wike remains a brother and a friend, and when you have a brother and a friend, they have their choices. You can’t question their choices, you can’t question people’s reasons for their political decisions. I remain the best choice for the people of Nigeria. I am committed to Niger Delta, I am committed in rebuilding Rivers State. I know what this place used to be. I know what I can do to change Niger Delta”.
