Peter Obi’s Group Fighting Me – Wike Reveals Why He Rejected LP Presidential Candidate

A former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has alleged that Peter Obi’s group is now fighting him because he refused to join forces with them ahead of the 2023 general elections.

Wike said that Peter Obi and his lobbyists put pressure on him before the polls but he rejected them, believing that Obi would not win the election.

Speaking in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Wike said he was not willing to waste Rivers’ votes on someone he thought would not fly.

According to him, “Peter Obi’s group put a lot of pressure on me. They can’t deny it. And I said ‘look, this one won’t fly’. “Rivers State won’t vote where it won’t fly.” There’s also a gang and I say: ‘look, that’s enough’. They want to fight us. They fight themselves. “

DAILY POST recalls stories of alleged massive rigging of the 2023 presidential election and rewriting of result sheets in favor of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Rivers State.

There were also reports of political thugs allegedly deployed by Wike forcing voters to vote for a particular candidate and also stories of vote buying.

Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and Peter Obi of the Labor Party won 12 states each and Tinubu was declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for garnering the highest number of votes.
