Governor Nyesom Wike Canvasses Votes For Makinde, Says Relationship With The Broom (APC) Has Ended- "Nothing Like Broom. Broom Had Ended Saturday, Last Week"

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State on Friday was in the Oyo state, he was invited by the Oyo State Governor, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, to take part in the inauguration of the Oyo State 5,000,000-litre Aviation Fuel Dispensing Depot at the Ibadan Airport in the Alakia area of the state.

Governor Wike used the opportunity to appeal to the residents in the state to support the second-term ambition of the Governor Makinde, says he had ended his relationship with the All Progressives Congress (APC) after the 25 February presidential election.

"There’s no relationship with anybody again,” Mr Wike said in Oyo State, apparently referring to his brief endorsement and support for his preferred candidate. He said.

“The only relationship we have on 11 March is umbrella. Nothing like broom. Broom had ended Saturday, last week,” he added.

An umbrella is the party logo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), while the broom is the party logo of the All Progressive Congress, the APC.

The Presidential candidate of the APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu defeated the PDP candidate, Atiku Abubakar and the Labour Party’s Peter Obi, and others to become the 16th president of Nigeria.

In Rivers, when the results from 21 out of 23 local government areas in the state were released by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

Peter Obi was initially in the lead, with over 23,000 votes, Obi polled 169,414 votes, while Tinubu scored 148,979 votes.

However that changed when Tinubu overtook Obi when the results from the two remaining local government areas – Obio-Akpor and Degema – came in. Governor Nyesom Wike is an Ikwerre from Rumuepirikom in Obio-Akpor, in Rivers State.

Tinubu scored 80,239 votes in the Obio-Akpor Local Government Area, while Obi scored 3,829, followed by Atiku with 368 votes.
