Rivers State governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike and his Kaduna State counterpart, Nasir El-Rufai, have said the last presidential election was about the protection of the unity of Nigeria and Rivers State sided with those who supported southern presidency.
The duo spoke yesterday at Eneka community in Obio/Akpor local government area of Rivers State, venue of the inauguration of Eneka-Igbo Etche Link Road, which was constructed by the state government.
In his speech, Wike thanked El-Rufai and other governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for their stance on power shift to the south.
The governor said it was natural justice that the presidency moves to the south since the incumbent president, Muhammadu Buhari, who hails from the North was just concluding his eight years tenure in office.
