Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has reiterated his resolve to support the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate Peter Obi, with logistics support.<\/p>\n

Wike explained that Obi was a former governor, hence the need to support him with logistics during his presidential campaign in Rivers.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Wike pledged to support Obi\u2019s presidential campaign with logistics.<\/p>\n

The governor disclosed this while Obi was commissioning a flyover in Port Harcourt, the state capital.<\/p>\n

However, Wike warned Obi that Labour Party would not win any political position in the state.<\/p>\n

Speaking yesterday in Port Harcourt, Wike said PDP is the only party existing in Rivers State.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI have no regret in saying I will support Obi with logistics. He is a former governor, and if he is coming to campaign here, I will give him logistics support.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will give him vehicles, and security; I must give him logistics support. And I told him yesterday that his party will not get even one position in Rivers, not House of Assembly; there is no other party in Rivers. The only party we have here is PDP, Rivers State chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n
