Governor Wike Says G5 Govs’ Relationship With APC, LP Ended With Presidential Election
Ahead of the March 11 governorship and House of Assembly elections, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has said any form of relationship by the group of five (G5 governors) with the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Labour Party (LP) ended with the February 25 presidential and National Assembly elections.
According to Wike, with the group’s relationship with other parties ended, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would emerge victorious from the March 11 elections and reign in states across the country.
He said: “On the 11th of March, close your eyes, don’t ask, everything you press must be the umbrella. There is no relationship with anybody again. The only relationship we have on the 11th of March is the umbrella. Don’t hear any grammar again. The only grammar you can hear now is the umbrella, nothing like a broom. Broom ended last Saturday. Labour ended last Saturday. What will reign now is an umbrella.”
Wike stated these while inaugurating the Ibadan airport aviation fuel dispensing facility and storage depot, the Dr Omololu Olunloyo Airport Road and flagging off the construction of the Dr Victor Omololu Olunloyo Park, in Ibadan, on Friday.
He said the G5 governors were happy that Nigerians stood firm and ensured the materialization of the presidency moving to the South.
The Rivers governor argued that there was an unwritten law in the country that power must move from the North to the South and vice versa which must be implemented at every electoral cycle.
He said the G5 governors had shown boldness in their stance premised on the need for the right things to be done, no matter whose ox is gored.
