Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, on Thursday slammed Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State over his statements on Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP). Wike at the inauguration of the Nkpolu-Oroworokwo Flyover in Port Harcourt, urged Obi to ignore envious critics, especially those from his home state, Anambra.
Wike had stated: “We have worked and you know we have worked. One reason I also brought you (Obi) is that I know you also worked well in Anambra.
“Some people because of the level you are now, they are envying you in your state. They can come out and say all kind of rubbish. “Don’t worry, that is how it is; it is your home person that will kill you first, so don’t bother about those things.
“I have always told people when you are given opportunity, use it to showcase what you can do, stop criticising somebody who has left, you have been given the opportunity now show it. I am a professor, professor well, I am a doctor, doctor well, I am a lawyer, lawyer well, I am a mechanic, mechanic well.”
