Wike pledges to support Obi's campaign with logistics

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike on Thursday pledged to support Labor Party presidential candidate Peter Obi with logistics for his campaign in Rivers State.

Wike, who invited the LP candidate to inaugurate the Nkpolu-Oroworokwo Flyover in Port-Harcourt, added that Obi had all the characteristics to lead Nigeria.

Wike said, "Anytime you want to campaign in the state, let me know, all the logistical support, we'll give it to you.

"I know you as a person, you have all the criteria, you have all the characteristics to lead this country, you have them. Nobody can deny it."

For months, crisis has rocked the Peoples' Democratic Party as PDP member Wike and four other PDP governors known as the G5 have demanded the resignation of the party's national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, claiming that northerners should not be both the National President of the PDP and a candidate for the presidency.

Also addressing Obi at the inauguration, Wike said, "If you hadn't left (the PDP), you wouldn't have achieved your ambition to be able to save Nigeria."
