Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has denied working against the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in the state.
Speaking during a media chat in Port Harcourt, he said in less than a year, Obi galvanized young voters in such a manner some had described as unprecedented and finished the race with 6,101,533 votes.
Nigerian youths have accused Wike of betraying the former Anambra State governor, following Obi’s loss to Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
During the interview, he described the LP’s candidate as being ungrateful.
He (Wike) recalled how he picked him (Obi) to be the running mate to Atiku in the 2019 general elections, even against the wish of some prominent PDP chieftains.
Wike stated: “I take exception to Peter Obi’s comments that I came out against him. People are not being sincere, and people are not appreciative. In 2019, ask Peter Obi, I was one of the teams that chose Obi to be the vice presidential candidate of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. When we met at Abubakar’s house, he said these are the names, I will choose Obi. Obi was invited while we were at Saraki’s house at the night. I was fought by people like (Ike) Ekweremadu, (David) Umahi, and Pius Anyim. Every blame was on me, why would I be the one that will say Peter Obi should go?”
