2023: Wike Hails APC Governors For Backing Southern Presidency Agenda

Governors on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who are supporting the southern presidency agenda have been applauded.

Naija News reports that the Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike hailed APC governors who are supporting the shift of power to the south.

The governor said such APC governors have demonstrated with that gesture their belief in the country’s unity and the need for every section to be given equal stake.

Wike made the pronouncement on Saturday at the Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic’s Field, the venue of the Obio-Akpor Local Government Area campaign organised by the state Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He said the people of his state would not vote for any party that doesn’t support a power shift from North to South at the forthcoming polls.

The governor reiterated that voters in Rivers State would only cast their ballots to preserve the unity of the country, which could only be guaranteed through a power shift.

He maintained that the people of his state would speak with their votes to preserve peace and unity and ensure inclusivity in governance next week Saturday.

Wike submitted that “We are going to vote for the unity of Nigeria. We are going to vote for equity, fairness and justice. And that is why I salute the APC governorship who came out to say, for this country to be united, for this country to move on as one, that there is the need for power to shift.

“For those, who are greedy about power, you can get power, but you may not have peace. Is it not better to have peace, so that when you become president you can govern the people well? Do you want a place that is in crisis?

“We are going to vote for people who have the interest of our State. Time has passed when you will tell me that Rivers State only produces so and so number of votes. I have no problem about that. In return, what have we gotten.

“So, you must tell Rivers people now, if we vote for you, this is what you’ll have. Politics is you do for me, I’ ll do it for you. You fall for me, I’ll fall for you. If you push me, I’ll push you. If you love me, I’ll love you.”
