Wike Reveals His Children Supported Obi in 2023 Election
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and former governor of Rivers State, disclosed in an interview on TVC News that all his children supported Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, during the 2023 presidential election. Wike attributed their support to the controversy surrounding the All Progressives Congress (APC) Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket.
He noted that the situation has since changed, claiming that President Bola Tinubu’s administration has addressed the concerns related to the same-faith ticket. Wike stated, “In 2023, there was a problem with the Muslim-Muslim ticket.
There was this campaign about Christianity.” He added that his children now express regret for their previous support of Obi, stating, “They never knew this man, Peter Obi, was like this.” Furthermore, Wike asserted that Obi, who is now the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, cannot win the 2027 presidential election.
