Gvernor Nyesom Wike of Rivers has revealed why he thinks Peter Obi left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to contest for president under the Labour Party in the recently conducted February 25 election.
“Obi was running with us. I knew when Obi left. He was principled and he said he can’t stand it, people should say the truth. He went to see Sule Lamido in Jigawa, not in Dutse, but in a village that will take you more than four or five hours drive from Dutse the capital.
“You know what he told Obi? He didn’t tell him that look, you came late and I have chosen somebody. He said it is the north that will produce the next president. That was how Obi left saying why is he wasting time. Ask him, that’s how he left PDP,” Mr Wike said.
The governor made this revelation on Thursday, while hosting the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, at Government House in Port Harcourt, according to a statement by his media aide, Kelvin Ebiri.
