Receiving South-South leaders in his office on Tuesday in Abuja, Wike said the right thing must be done.
According to Wike: “All of us want to be politically relevant; all of us want to maintain our political structure.
“Is it not your political structure? Will you allow anybody to just cut you out immediately? Everybody has a base. If you take my base, am I not politically irrelevant?”
