[BREAKING] 2023 Presidential Election: Wike Makes Big Revelation On Obi, Tinubu

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike says he did not criticize the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, or his All Progressives Congress (APC) counterpart, Bola Tinubu, in the recently concluded February 25 presidential election because he is an “apostle” of power shift to Nigeria’s southern region.

Wike, who spoke at the commissioning of Chokocho-Igbodo Road in the Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State, said he owed nobody an apology for supporting the rotation of power to the south after the eight-year tenure of the incumbent, President Muhammadu Buhari who is from Katsina State in the North-West geopolitical zone.

The Rivers governor also praised the people for electing a southern president in the recent elections.

According to him, Section 7(3)(c) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) constitution recognized zoning and rotational presidency, but the party’s leadership violated party regulations.

“I owe nobody any apology at all. I am one of the apostles, one of those who stood firm that power must rotate to the South. This is for equity, this is for fairness and this is for justice.

“Whether you voted for Labour, I have no problem with you. Whether you voted for APC, I have no problem with you. That is what we have argued for: that the north has had it for eight years. Therefore the south must be there for eight years,” Wike said.

“As far as I am concerned, anybody from south, that is my position. That is what we agreed in the Integrity Group that we must make sure that the south emerges as the next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“Each time I went for campaign, nobody has ever heard me criticise Obi. Nobody has ever heard me criticize Asiwaju. I owe nobody any apology that people voted southern presidency.”
