Former Rivers State Governor and current FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has stated that he does not support Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, because he believes Obi stands no realistic chance of winning a national election.
Responding to a question on why he hasn’t backed Obi, Wike said:
“He has no chance of winning the election; I don’t do social media candidates.” CONTINUE READING>>
The comment appears to underscore Wike’s long-held skepticism about candidates whose support bases are perceived as being primarily online rather than grounded in traditional political structures.
Wike, a prominent figure within the ruling political elite, has consistently positioned himself as a realist in Nigerian politics, often emphasizing ground-level political machinery and party strength over online popularity.
As of the time of this report, Peter Obi has not issued a public response.
