Immediate past Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike has accused persons opposed to the zoning of the Senate presidency to the Southsouth of deliberately laying a stumbling block for President Ahmed Bola Tinubu in the National Assembly.
A statement signed by Wike’s Media Aide, Kelvin Ebiri, said the former Governor spoke in Port Harcourt on Tuesday. “If you agree that presidency should go to the south, tell me the truth, where should it go? It can’t be in the Southwest. It can’t be in the Southeast. Southsouth has only produced one Senate president, far back in 1979, Joseph Wayas. Southeast has produced over seven.”
He said: “The party and the President appear to have a soft spot for Akpabio. I would have thought that people will say, look allow this administration to start on a very good foundation, so nobody gives us excuses that why this administration could not start on good footing is because of the rancour between the executive and the legislature.”
