Wike Denies Working Against Peter Obi

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has refutted the rumour making the rounds that he was the one behind the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State.

He said: “I am an apostle of power shift to the southern region of Nigeria.”

“Whether you voted for Labour, I have no problem with you. Whether you voted for APC, I have no problem with you. That is what we have argued for: that the north has had it for eight years. Therefore the south must be there for eight years.”

“As far as I am concerned, anybody from the south, that is my position. That is what we agreed in the Integrity Group that we must make sure that the south emerges as the next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

“Each time I went for a campaign, nobody has ever heard me criticise Obi. Nobody has ever heard me criticize Asiwaju. I owe nobody any apology that people voted for the southern presidency.”
