The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has pledged to support the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi with logistics for his campaign in Rivers State.

Nyesom Wike made this known when Obi arrived Rivers state to commission the Nkpolu-Oroworokwo Flyover in Port-Harcourt.

He noted that Peter Obi had all the characteristics to lead the country and nobody can deny that.

“Each time you want to campaign in the state, let me know, all the logistics support, we will give to you.

“I know you as a person, you have all the criteria, you have all the characteristics to lead this country, you have it. Nobody can deny that,” Wike said.

According to wike, “If you had not left (the PDP), you would not have realised your ambition to be able to save Nigeria.”

His comment comes following the crisis that has rocked the Peoples Democratic Party with Wike being a PDP member.

He alongside four other PDP governors known as the G5 have demanded the resignation of the national chairman of the party, Iyorchia Ayu. The reason being that northerners should not be both the PDP national chairman and presidential candidate.
