The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, on Friday, said the current power shift to the Southern region had corrected the rotational presidency being clamoured for.
This is as he also thanked Nigerians for supporting the return of power to the Southern part of the country.
Wike spoke on Friday when he joined his Oyo State counterpart, Seyi Makinde, to inaugurate the state 5,000,000-litre Aviation Fuel Dispensing Depot at the Ibadan Airport in the Alakia area of the state.
“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 materialises.”
He also commended Makinde for supporting the demand for a power shift to the South, saying he was their demand later materialised.
“I am happy he (Makinde) is one of those that made history by making sure that power shift to the south,” he said.
