Nyesom Wike, the Governor of River State, has named Mr. Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), his hero after the 2023 presidential elections.
During Wike’s speech in town hall with Igbo traders in the state capital city, Port Harcourt, he said that in spite of Obi not having been declared the winner, his involvement in the election assured the emergence of a Southerner as the president-elect.
According to him, those states where Obi clinched victories would have been won by the Democratic Party (PDP), thereby retaining power in the north.
“In this election that we just did,” he said, “Obi is my hero, as far as I’m concerned.” “If he didn’t contest, power would have remained in the North.”
He further urged the traders to dismiss the comments of Detector and vote for the PDP in the upcoming governorship and state assembly elections.
