The ex-Governor of Rivers State said he supported President Bola Tinubu, the then presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, at the expense of Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the keenly contested poll.

Wike claimed he doesn’t discuss presidential candidates any longer.

However, he said, “I don’t discuss presidential candidates any longer; I discuss the economy, the president, what he has to offer.

“If he (Obi) would have been better, Nigerians would have voted for him.”
