A key member of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar presidential campaign council, John Gaul Lebo, has said that Gov Nyesome Wike of Rivers State is backing the
governorship candidacy of Prof Sandy Onor in Cross River State and that of Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State for two major reasons.
He said Sanwo-Olu, an All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Lagos, has been Wike’s longtime friend beyond politics, arguing that Wike likes to sustain friendships. He debunked the notion spread by APC stakeholders in the state that Wike wants to take over the state by his support. He disagreed that the lingering bitter issues which tend to polarise the party and which have forced Wike to stay away from Atiku’s campaign activities, could affect its political fortunes or force out some governors who are sympathetic to Wike.
