The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has stated that there is no justification to retain power in the northern part of the country, after the eight years of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He urged those protesting against the same faith ticket to ponder on the neglect of zoning or rotation of the president between the North and the South.
Wike spoke yesterday at the special dedication service for the Rivers State PDP 2023 General Election Campaign Rallies, which held at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Port Harcourt, the state capital.

He said such individuals knew that they were insulting the sensibility of well-meaning Nigerians, who desired a united country to advance national cohesion.
Wike said: “You play on people’s intelligence; you say Nigeria is not ripe for Muslim-Muslim ticket, I agree. But Nigeria is ripe for the presidency to remain in one zone? I mean, just look at the insult. You blow hot and cold.”
