Does Wike's statement really clear the air about his camp's intentions for Sowore's bid?

I agree, that line helps show they're not shady, though we'll see if actions match.

It's odd this clarification comes only after allegations tied to Yahoo Boys rhetoric and might fuel more distrust.

I'm not convinced defending ethical politics absolves every supporter from questionable alliances. There's more nuance here.

Maybe both sides should focus on outlining clear campaign ethics guidelines to prevent similar misunderstandings moving forward.
