Peter Obi had no chance of winning election — Wike on backing Tinubu

The former Rivers State Governor said Peter Obi had no chance of winning the 2024 election.

He disclosed it on Friday, during his media chat in Abuja.

He said he explained that he is not akin to supporting social media candidates as the reason he backed Tinubu’s presidency.

“He had no chance of winning the election; you people like this kind of social media candidate. I don’t do social media candidates. I sit down as a politician and analyse candidates who are likely to win an electio”n.

Recall that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu defeated Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party and Peter Obi to clinch victory at the February election.

Thereafter, Tinubu appointed Wike in August 2023 to serve as minister.
