Election: Wike sends fresh message to APC

Weeks after the conclusion of the 2023 presidential election, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State on Monday reiterated that he remains grateful to governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and other leaders of the ruling party for zoning the party’s presidential ticket to the South.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that according to Wike, by this decision, the APC leaders have demonstrated their firm belief in inclusivity of every section of Nigeria in the scheme of things.

Governor Wike made the assertion when the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ahmed Idris Wase, led a delegation of other lawmakers on a courtesy call to the Government House, Port Harcourt.

“I thank your party for coming out openly to say power has to rotate. Everybody now knows that whoever finishes for eight years, it goes to another area and that will be inclusiveness, it will bring unity. That is what will stabilise this country,” Wike said.

The Rivers State governor maintained that the decision of the APC to zone the presidency to the South is in sync with the fundamental objectives of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) G-5 governors for equity, fairness and justice.
