Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has appealed to Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike to allow him to win Rivers State in the presidential election while the Labour Party will support PDP in the governorship election.<\/p>\n

Obi made the appeal during the commissioning of Nkpolu Oroworukwo flyover on Thursday in Port Harcourt.<\/p>\n

Obi said he will not challenge the governor over the governorship seat in the state but Governor Wike should also leave the federal election for him.<\/p>\n

According to Obi, the interest of Rivers State will be adequately protected when he becomes president.<\/p>\n

Obi said: \u201d I will talk to my people and we will negotiate. If we leave the state for him (Wike) he will leave the centre for us. We will negotiate it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Referring to Wike, Obi continued: \u201cWe will not quarrel with you. Please give us this one (centre) and collect the other one (state). I will accommodate them ( Rivers state) in the other one.\u201d Remember this agreement today. I\u2019m kneeling down and begging, take this one (state) give me this one (centre). I assure you the one I will take, I will use it to make sure Rivers State becomes better and better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Obi at the beginning of his speech had referred to the governorship candidate of the PDP in Rivers State as the \u201cincoming governor.\u201d<\/p>\n
