Senator Orji Kalu has praised Nyesom Wike, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“Wike is the winner of the game for beating all odds to finish in second,” the Senate Chief Whip proclaimed.
Kalu remarked in a Facebook post that despite being a senior member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Wike deserved praise.
The previous governor of Abia praised the Rivers governor’s “performance, tenacity, and guts.”
