Election victory: Wike commends Nigerians for massive support for Tinubu

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State on Friday commended Nigerians for supporting the return of power to the Southern part of Nigeria by voting massively for Bola Tinubu in the 2023 presidential and national assembly elections.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governor explained that the issue of the rotational presidency has been settled for good with the emergence of a President-Elect, Bola Tinubu, who is from the southern region of the country.

Wike asserted this on Friday when he joined his Oyo State counterpart, Seyi Makinde to commission the Oyo State 5,000,000-litre Aviation Fuel Dispensing Depot at the Ibadan Airport in the Alakia area of the state.

Wike noted, “I am happy he (Makinde) is one of those that made history by making sure that power shift to the south.

“I have told people that those who fight for change, who fight for revolution may not be direct beneficiaries of that fight but today, history has it that all of us now are aware that when power finishes from the south, it will go to the north; when it finishes from the north, it will come to the south.

“So, it does not need to be written in the constitution at all before it is implemented. And I thank Nigerians for standing firm to see that this issue materialises.”

Recall, Wike and Makinde are members of the G5 or the ‘Integrity Group’ who are aggrieved governors of the PDP.
