The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has said that those agitating against a Muslim-Muslim ticket for the 2023 presidential election as adopted by the All Progressives Congress, should also be fair enough to speak up against the Peoples Democratic Party retain the presidency in the North.
The Governor spoke at a special dedication service for Rivers State PDP 2023 General Election Campaigns Rallies.
The event held on Sunday at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Port Harcourt.
Wike urged those condemning the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the APC to also know that it was wrong for the PDP to retain the presidency in the North after President Muhammadu Buhari must had done eight years.
He said: “You play on people’s intelligence.
“You say Nigeria is not ripe for Muslim-Muslim ticket.
“I agree.
“But is Nigeria ripe for the presidency to remain in one zone?
“I mean, just look at the insult.
“You blow hot and cold.
“Most of you just sit there, you don’t ask yourselves questions.
“Somebody continues to sell this kind of cheap ideas.
“You don’t ask the person, I agree with what you are saying, but look at what we are saying here.
“Your party wants the presidency to go to the same zone where president Muhammadu Buhari is coming from.
“Who is cheating who?”
