Governors on the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform who support the southern presidency agenda have been applauded.
Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike praised APC governors who support the shift of power to the south.
The governor stated that such APC governors have demonstrated their belief in the country’s unity and the need for equal stakes for all sections.
Wike made the announcement on Saturday at the Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic’s Field, the site of the state Peoples Democratic Party’s Obio-Akpor Local Government Area campaign.
He stated that in the upcoming elections, the people of his state will not vote for any party that does not support a power shift from North to South.
The governor reiterated that Rivers State voters would only vote to keep the country united, which could only be achieved through a power shift.
He maintained that the people of his state would speak with their votes next week Saturday to preserve peace and unity and to ensure inclusivity in governance.
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.
