Speaking on Friday, Wike expressed his happiness that Seyi Makinde was one of those who supported the transfer of power to the south following the eight-year tenure of the current Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari, who is from Katsina. The two were present to commission the Oyo State 5,000,000-liter Aviation Fuel Dispensing Depot at the Ibadan Airport in the Alakia area of the state.
Wike stated: “I am happy he (Makinde) is one of those that made history by making sure that power shift to the south.
“I have told people that those who fight for change, who fight for revolution may not be direct 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 materialise.”
