Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has mocked the PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar and other party leaders over their ‘black Uniform’ protest to the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
According to the Governor, he warned the leadership of the party over its insistence that northerners hold onto the presidential ticket and national chairmanship seat of the party.
Wike, who spoke at the commissioning of Chokocho-Igbodo Road in the Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State, commended the people for voting a southern President.
“While other people are demonstrating, I am commissioning projects. I have not gone to do demonstration; my own is to commission projects and make my people happy,” Wike said.
“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,” he said.
For months before the elections, Wike and four other PDP governors known as the G5 demanded the resignation of Iyorchia Ayu, saying northerners should not be the PDP national chairman and presidential candidate.
