Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has admitted that he refused to approve stadiums for some political parties in the state for campaign.
This was while explaining to the National Executive Committee of Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo Worldwide that he did not work against Obi, when they paid him a courtesy visit at Government House on Thursday.
According to him he supported that power must come to the South, adding that he also supported Obi when he came to campaign in the state.
His statement reads
I supported that power must come to the south. When Obi came here, I gave him all the logistics; vehicles, and other support and paid for the stadium, but some other persons applied and I refused. You should know me too well by now.”
“Obi was running with us. I knew when Obi left. He was principled and he said he can’t stand it, people should say the truth. He went to see Sule Lamido in Jigawa, not in Dutse, but in a village that will take you more than four or five hours drive from Dutse the capital.
“You know what he told Obi? He didn’t tell him that look, you came late and I have chosen somebody. He said it is the north that will produce the next president. That was how Obi left saying why is he wasting time. Ask him, that’s how he left PDP.”
“And that was what I saw at the convention ground. Within minutes, knowing that I was going to win, your sons were all the ones who did everything and sabotaged me. I said ok, no problem.
