Rivers State Governor, Nyeson Wike, has said that he does not mind if the Peoples Democratic Party produces the next next President from the North.
He said he preferred power coming to the South but his party could still win with a Northern candidate.
He stated this in an interview with BBC on Saturday, noting that what mattered to him mostly was a PDP victory.
According to him, he will not even support former President Goodluck Jonathan if he contests the presidency on the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
Wike said,
“I am from Southern part of Nigeria. I will be happy if power returns to the South, but if PDP will win the 2023 presidential election by zoning the presidential ticket to the North, I will not be opposed to it.”
“If President Jonathan is given the All Progressives Congress presidential ticket, he knows that I will not support him. I will not engage in anti-party activity. Even if he is from the South, I will not endorse him. What is paramount is my party’s interest.”
