 Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, lashed out on Monday at former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who led leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in a protest against the outcome of the February 25 presidential election at the national headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Wike, speaking at the commissioning of the Chokocho-Igbodo Road in Rivers State's Etche Local Government Area, warned the party's leadership about its insistence on northerners holding the presidential ticket and the party's national chairmanship seat.

According to him, Section 7(3)(c) of the PDP constitution recognized zoning and rotational presidency, but the party's leadership violated the party's regulations

He 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.

The Rivers governor also commended the people for voting a southern president in the just-concluded elections.
