“On the 11th of March, close your eyes, don’t ask, everything you press must be the umbrella. There is no relationship with anybody again.
"The only relationship we have on the 11th of March is the umbrella. Don’t hear any grammar again. The only grammar you can hear now is the umbrella, nothing like a broom. Broom ended last Saturday. Labour ended last Saturday. What will reign now is an umbrella.”
I am happy over shift of presidency to south - Wike

Wike went on:
“I have told people that those who fight for change; those who fight for revolution may not be direct beneficiaries of that fight. Today, history has it that all of us are aware that when power finishes from the South, it will go to the North; when it finishes from the north, it will go to the south..."
