Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has informed the residents of Oyo State that the agreement between the G5 governors and the All Progressives Congress (APC) has ended on the day of presidential election.
Wike, while addressing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) loyalists in Oyo State on Friday thanked Nigerians for supporting the return of power to Southern Nigeria.
The Rivers State governor said the issue of 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 was in Ibadan to join 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.
He urged the people of the state to cast their votes for the governor for a second term so that he could continue his good works in the state.
“I don’t want to talk about your second tenure, because I know that the people of Oyo State know that one good turn deserves another. If, in his first term, he can perform this way, he will over-perform in his second term. I can guarantee that he will do better than what he has done in first term.
“So, on the day of the governorship election, make sure that everything you are pressing on the ballot papers have the umbrella logo. Don’t create a relationship with anyone again.”
Speaking on the achievement of the southern president, Wike says, “I am happy 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 directed 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 materialise.”
Wike and Makinde are members of the G5 or the ‘Integrity Group’ who are aggrieved governors of the PDP.
