Samuel AkpanNyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, has mocked Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party , over former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s endorsement of Peter Obi.On Sunday, Obasanjo, in a letter to Nigerians,He advised Nigerians not to be “confused nor gullible” about who to vote for because Obi has what it takes to put Nigeria on the right path to progress.
“I worked with somebody for eight years and we are using it as a campaign that when we were in office we did well. Then my boss is recommending another person, not me? Something is fundamentally wrong,” Wike said.“I was praying that Obasanjo should not say anything. When I saw the letter last night, I was touched. If your principal cannot recommend you, then there is something fundamentally wrong.
“After all, you people went to lobby your principal to recommend you. It took your principal a long time — but he wrote a letter to all Nigerians .” Wike also denied allegations that he influenced the PDP zoning committee which was chaired by Samuel Ortom, governor of Benue, not to zone the PDP presidential ticket to the south.
