“I have told people that those who fight for change, who fight for revolution may not be directed beneficiaries of that fight but today, history has it that all of us now are aware that when power finishes from the south, it will go to the north; when it finishes from the north, it will come to the south.

“So, it does not need to be written in the constitution at all before it is implemented. And I thank Nigerians for standing firm to see that this issue materialize,” Wike said.

Wike is the perceived leader of the G5, a group of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors who are aggrieved with the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and the party’s leadership.

Besides Wike and Makinde, other members of the group are governors Samuel Ortom (Benue), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu).

The group fell out with Atiku for reneging on the alleged promise to ensure the exit of Iyorchia Ayu as the Chairman of the party.

They wanted Ayu to be replaced by a southerner as a condition to support Atiku.
