“I Wish Obasanjo Did Not Make Public His Choice Candidate For President” –  Wike Mocks Atiku

By Ayodele Oni

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, said the endorsement of Labour Party (LP) Candidate, Peter Obi, by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, is a slight on Atiku Abubakar, flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP).

The Governor believes that the move by Obasanjo, who refused to endorse Atiku shows that there is something fundamentally wrong with Atiku who was Obasanjo’s vice from 1999 to 2003.

Wike pointed out that it was funny that the engineer of the same legacies upon which Atiku was campaigning, failed to recommend him but instead endorsed Obi.

He spoke on Monday, during the flag-off of a road project in Emohua Local Government Area of the State.

“If you are a bad product, you are a bad product, if you are a good product, you are a good product.

“You worked under somebody, the person has recommended to Nigerians another person, is it me?

“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 to be there, something is fundamentally wrong.

“I was praying that Obasanjo should not say anything, when I saw the letter last night I was touched.

“If your Principal does not recommend you, then there’s something fundamentally wrong.”
