Peter Obi is a man of integrity – Wike

Editorial: As cultists run rampage in Rivers, Wike maintains deafening silence

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has said if he is suspended from the Peoples Democratic as some people are insinuating, the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, will be seeing him every day.

Wike said he knew why Obi left the party, adding that he would not blame him for leaving the party.

“Your Excellency, I know why you left PDP, and I don’t blame you, because, I know the humiliation you suffered in the party. I must admit you are a very humble man, and a man of integrity,” he said.

During the commissioning of the Nkpolu-Oruworukwu Flyover in Port Harcourt, Wike said that, unlike Obi, he would not leave the party but would stay to fight the people he described as armed robbers in the party.

He added that if they suspended him, he does not have anything to lose as he was no longer looking for a job.

He said that the people in the PDP calling for unity to unseat the ruling party worked to put the party in opposition in 2015, saying that they could no longer deceive anyone.

On his part, Mr Obi praised Wike for delivering quality projects in the state. He urged Rivers electorates to vote for him as he is one of them.

Obi said that he and his running mate, Datti-Ahmed, are prepared to rescue Nigeria, adding that, unlike some candidates, their age, schools they attended, school mates and what they do are in the public domain.
