Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike says he never worked against the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.<\/p>\n

Wike, who spoke during a strategic meeting with petroleum marketers in Rivers State claimed he never plotted against any southern presidential candidate during the February 25th presidential election.<\/p>\n

The Governor who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Emeka Woke, claimed his position during the presidential election was based on the principles of equity, fairness and Justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can agree with me that there are a lot of insinuations and misinformation that his excellency worked against the Labour Party presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to stand here to tell you and of course, you know that his excellency is a man who will stand by his words any time any day and speak his mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis excellency did not work against any southern presidential candidate. The position of his excellency is that of equity and fairness.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe north has done their eight years and so it is time for the south. That is his excellency\u2019s position. He did not hide it, he spoke about it. And so my brothers, there is nothing to shy away from because our hands are clean.\u201d Woke said.<\/p>\n

The event had in attendance, national leaders and members of the Petroleum Product Retail Outlet Owners Association of Nigeria, the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria and the Nigerian Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers.<\/p>\n
