Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has pledged to provide logistics support for the campaigns of the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso within the state.
Wike made this known on Monday when the NNPP candidate inaugurated the Mgbutanwo Internal Roads in the Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers.
Wike, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), described Kwankwaso as a man of integrity who meant well for Nigeria.
He said Kano is very important for the victory of PDPin the 2023 presidential election next February but all his entreaties to PDP stalwarts not to let Kwankwaso go proved abortive.
The Rivers governor said he persuaded Kwankwaso not to dump the PDP earlier in March but enemies within the party pushed out.
Wike said the former governor of Kano State has what is required to put Nigeria together, saying it is unfortunate that they are no longer in the same party.
He told the NNPP candidate to remember Rivers people if he wins, saying the Integrity Group will continue to support whatever is right and help the country.
