The Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has commended the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, for leaving the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, noting that he knew why he left the party.
Peter Obi had left the PDP a few days before the party’s presidential primary in May, blaming a lack of democracy and moneybags who were spending their way to get the party’s presidential ticket.
While noting that he will not leave the PDP but stay back to fight the “armed robbers and hyenas”, Wike noted that Obi suffered for the PDP.
He lamented that the PDP is full of injustice, praising Obi that, “you are a very humble person. You are very straightforward. You are a man of integrity.
“I cannot stand people who change their views after discussion. You are not like that,” Wike said, apparently referring to the PDP national chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, who had refused to keep his promise to resign if a northern candidate emerged as the presidential candidate of the party.
The governor who was speaking on Thursday at the commissioning of the Nkporu-Oroworokwo flyover constructed by Julius Berger reminisced that, “When you (Obi) ran for Presidency in the PDP with Atiku (Abubakar) in 2019, I didn’t challenge you. I was the highest supporter of the ticket.
