Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and former Governor of Rivers State, says Peter Obi’s camp, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections.
Wike spoke on Saturday during a private luncheon with some stakeholders in Port Harcourt, Rivers state capital.
The former Rivers governor said he refused to support Obi for the 2023 presidential election despite being lobbied “so much” for support.
He added that some persons in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who want the party’s presidential ticket in 2027, are also ganging up against him.
Wike boasted that his political enemies would not emerge victorious.
“Let me tell you what is going on. I have no regret at all for supporting President Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. I have no regret about it,” he said.
“All these things you are seeing… there is Atiku’s group, Peter Obi’s group and some few governors of the PDP who believe I’m a problem to them. I will continue to be a problem to them.
“Atiku’s group believes that I and my team stopped them from becoming president. What we stopped was injustice. All we wanted was equity and fairness.
“Obi’s group, they lobbied me so much. They can’t deny it. I said, ‘look, this won’t fly. Rivers state will not go to where we will not it won’t fly’. There is also a gang-up. They are fighting us back. They are fighting themselves.
