Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike said he did not publicly support LP Labor presidential candidate Peter Obi in the February 25 election because no one discussed the Igbo presidency with his grandfather.

Ogbonnia said that during the meeting, Ohaneze Ndigbo confronted Wike about his alleged role against Obi in the presidential election.

He said Governor Wike expressed surprise that Ohanaeze was on a mission to find out the truth and explain her role in the presidential election.

According to Ogbonnia, Governor de Rivers explained that the Southern Governors Forum met for the first time in Asaba and agreed that power would be transferred to the South after President Muhammadu Buhari.

He also explained that the Governors then met in Enugu in September 2021 to reaffirm their stance in favor of the transfer of power to the South.
