Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike on Saturday reacted to the former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi’s dumping of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and withdrawal from the presidential race.
According to Wike, Obi can be the best economist but lacked character and integrity.
Wike, who spoke Channels Television, added that the former governor’s recent decision was not surprising because, he (Obi) knew there was no way he could have won the PDP Presidential ticket.
Wike said, “Peter Obi leaving the party is not surprising to me. He knows that there is no way he would have won the presidential primaries. Forget about what Doyin Okuope said about sharing money.
“How can someone who has gone to almost all the states telling them about how he is a trader and how he wore one shoe and does not allow people carry his bag leave a party three days to the primaries?
“From what I read on social media, he wants to join NNPP, but Kwakwaso wants to be president. So, does he want to be Vice President? This is what I am saying, in everything you do, integrity and character is very important. You can be the best economist but you don’t have character.”
