“Wike Is An Unrepentant PDP Member” – Rivers APC

The All Progressives Congress on Tuesday reaffirmed that the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, is not a member of the party.

During a press briefing at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, the Chairman of Rivers APC caretaker committee, Chief Tony Okocha, stated that the former governor is neither a member of the APC nor attend any of their political meetings.

Tony disclosed that despite the party’s efforts to woo Wike to join the party, the Minister hasn’t shown sign of leaving the PDP.

He said: “When I hear this, I laugh because Wike is a member of PDP, unrepentant PDP. We are APC here. Will anybody suggest that because Mr Wike is a minister under our government of APC, we should be at dagger with him?

“Wike doesn’t attend our meeting. I have briefed you here. We have held meetings with stakeholders, but Wike was never there. So at what point does he influence APC in Rivers State? His influence, as much as you know, is because he is a minister under an APC government. So we can’t be in enmity with him. But to say that he influences us, how? Does he pay our bills or attend our meetings? The answer is no.”
