Wike, during a media chat yesterday in Port Harcourt, stated: “There is something going (on) in the country now about the Senate presidency and the House leadership, and everybody knows my position. My position is that the (Senate) presidency should come to the South-South.  We are not talking about the presidency of the country now, we are done with that.

“If you agree that (Senate) presidency should go to the south, tell me the truth, where should it go? It can’t be in the South-West. It can’t be in the South-East. South-South has only produced one Senate President, Joseph Wayas, far back in 1979. South-East has produced over seven.”
