LEGIT

The governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike, has said that his prayer to prevent Nigeria’s former president, Olusegun Obasanjo from making public comments against the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, failed. Speaking at the flag-off ceremony of the construction of the Mgbuodohia Road in Rumuolumene Town of Obio-Akpor Local Government Area on Tuesday, January 4, the governor said he know Obasanjo would never support Atiku. 

Obasanjo best referral for Atiku He, however, said he hoped against all hopes and fervently prayed that the ex-president stays away from commenting on the 2023 presidential ambition of Atiku. 

Further noting that Obasanjo, whom Atiku served as a vice president during his tenure is expected to be the best referral the PDP flag bearer should have. His words: 

“I meant no bad. I’m only worried as a prominent PDP member. A man who loves PDP should be worried. I was not mocking anybody. I was merely worried. My prayer was, look, let Obasanjo remain quiet and not say anything. That was all my prayer, but my prayer didn’t work.
