Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has said that the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), scored over six million votes in the February 25 election due to the fact that the Southerners were already yearning for one of them to be the President of Nigeria after the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme, today, March 27, Governor Wike said that Peter Obi did not necessarily gathered the figures he got because of his alleged integrity.
He stressed that Peter Obi got a lot of votes from the Southeast because Igbo people have been yearning for presidency.
“First, it was because of the belief that the presidency should go to the Southeast. Secondly, some people wanted a younger person.”
