Amid allegations of complicity in the reported manipulation of the presidential and National Assembly elections results in Rivers State, Governor Nyesom Wike has declared that he owes no one an apology.

While addressing residents at the commissioning of Chokocho-Igbodo Road in the Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State on Monday, Wike said that he remains unapologetic in his support for power rotation to the south after President Muhammadu Buhari’s eight-year tenure.

Calling himself an apostle of power rotation, the governor disclosed that he holds no grudges against those who voted for Labour Party and the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“I owe nobody any apology at all. I am one of the apostles, one of those who stood firm that power must rotate to the South.

“This is for equity, this is for fairness and this is for justice.

“Whether you voted for Labour, I have no problem with you. Whether you voted for APC, I have no problem with you.

“That is what we have argued for: that the north has had it for eight years.

“Therefore the south must be there for eight years,” Wike said.

“As far as I am concerned, anybody from the south, that is my position.

“That is what we agreed in the Integrity Group that we must make sure that the south emerges as the next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“Each time I went for a campaign, nobody ever heard me criticise Obi.

“Nobody has ever heard me criticize Asiwaju. I owe nobody any apology that people voted for the southern presidency”, he said.
