According to the governor, such a circumstance would have resulted in the North retaining power.
According to Wike: “In this election that we just did, Obi is my hero, as far as I’m concerned. If he didn’t contest, power would have remained in the North, made Southerner President-elect.”
He urged traders to vote for PDP candidates in the gubernatorial and state assembly elections on March 18.
Wike explained to the traders that he came to the market because he heard they were upset with him for supposedly working against Obi during the presidential race.
Wike added that when he and the other G5 governors lobbied for the southern president, he saw no need to work against the former Anambra governor.
