Peter Obi’s Actual Reason for Leaving the PDP, According to Wike (WATCH VIDEO)

The Real Reason Peter Obi Quit the PDP, According to Wike (WATCH VIDEO) – Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, quit the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) because some PDP politicians wanted to keep control of the North, according to Rivers State Governor Chief Nyesom Wike.

When the National Executive Committee of Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo Worldwide paid Wike a courtesy visit at the Government House in Port Harcourt, Wike expressed his satisfaction with the transfer of power to the south but insisted that he did not work against Peter Obi in the presidential election on February 25, 2023.

He went on to say that he was a staunch supporter of a Southern president and that Obi’s decision to leave the PDP came about when Sule Lamido informed him that the North will continue to hold power in 2023.
The governor’s media aide, Kelvin Ebiri, delivered these comments.

Wike on Why Peter Obi left PDP

“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.

“But I still maintained that look, if you have taken the presidential candidate you can’t take chairmanship again, give us back the chairman and I still stand by that and if you don’t do that whatever you see you take.”
