Who Will Wike Endorse? Peter Obi, Tinubu, Kwankwaso Fight For His Support

Yes, that’s one of the most frequently asked questions right now: who is Wike supporting for president?

The governor of Rivers State has declared that he will announce his favorite candidate to support in January 2023.

As of now, he has bromanced Peter Obi, Bola Tinubu, and Rabiu Kwankwaso and declared political war against Atiku Abubakar.

As far as Mandy News is concerned, Governor Nyesom Wike is merely playing a game in an effort to gauge the political climate and declare his support for a candidate who will most likely win the 2023 election.

Everyone is afraid of fading into political oblivion as the general election approaches; therefore, no one is making decisions that will really benefit average Nigerian citizens.

Let’s go!

Who Is Wike Supporting For President?

The race for the southern Nigerian region to provide the next president became an actuality after Bola Ahmed Tinubu won the All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential ticket and Peter Obi won the Labour Party (LP) presidential ticket during the summer.

It was finally an opportunity for Southern Nigerians to express their political opinions loudly and clearly to Aso Villa contenders who depend on the highly valued voting bloc to catapult them to victory on election day.

However, without Nyesom Wike’s enigmatic support, one of the most influential politicians from the South whose words have great sway in his state and the region at large, it will be difficult to tell which contender will emerge as the winner.

Wike supported Atiku Abubakar in the 2019 presidential election, winning his state both for his reelection and for Atiku. This time around, however, it’s likely that Wike won’t be doing it for him.

His party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has been in disarray as a result of a number of recent defeats, including losing vibrant youths who moved to new parties. 

Everyone wants the next president to be from the southern region of Nigeria for the sake of justice, fairness, and equity.

A new political party with Rabiu Kwankwaso running for president is also making waves in the Northern Nigeria region.

Politicians from Southern Nigeria may want to band together sooner rather than later if they want to take control of the nation.

And there may be no better way to accomplish that than for the most well-liked governor in Nigerian politics in the contemporary age to publicly and formally declare his support for a candidate in the South that he believes is deserving of the position of the country’s next president.

That being stated, APC had better not get their hopes up in regards to finding out Wike’s endorsement any time soon.

According to reports, Tinubu met Wike in London and France to solicit his support. Moreover, he supports Sanwo Olu However, he refrained from endorsing Tinubu or anyone else out of concern that doing so at this time might be a little early.

However, he has spoken more favorably of Peter Obi than any other presidential candidate, and he recently aided his rally in his state.

Wike may have given a hint about the candidate he intended to support when he spoke at the commissioning of many of his projects in December. At the time, he made controversial remarks against the APC and the PDP presidential candidate.

Naturally, Wike’s name carries a lot of weight. He is powerful, wealthy, and well-known.

If Wike did not support Obi, it would be viewed as a catastrophic failure for him. But given that Wike has vowed to campaign across the nation for whoever he supports in 2023, we may never truly understand how he feels about the Labour Party presidential candidate. 

As of right now, both Tinubu and Peter Obi supporters are banking on Wike’s endorsement of their candidate.

He is now a super star, therefore the candidates are pleading with him for support behind closed doors.
