Political permutations as regards who Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State will support ahead of the next year’s presidential polls continues to take different dimensions as he received the Labour Party (LP) presidential flagbearer, Peter Obi on Thursday.

Speaking during an inauguration at the venue of the Nkpolu-Oroworokwo flyer that was commisioned by Obi  in Port Harcourt, the state capital, Wike, said that the former Anambra State governor, has all the characteristic to lead the country.       

The Rivers State governor pledged “logistics support” for the campaigns of Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

“Each time you want to campaign in the state, let me know, all the logistics support, we will give to you,” Wike told Obi.

Obi and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed were in the state capital to commission the 9th flyover by the present administration. They were excitedly received by a large crowd of their supporters known as ‘Obidients’.

For months, Wike and four other governors in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have demanded the resignation of Iyorchia Ayu as PDP national chairman as a precondition to support the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

While Wike and his allies have not been seen to campaign for Atiku, it is not clear whether they will support Obi, or Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the contest for Aso Rock’s top job which has been described by analysts and keen observers as a three-horse race.
