Tony Okocha, chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) caretaker committee in Rivers State, in his interview with The Nation newspaper said the party wants FCT Minister Nyesom Wike to the ruling party.
Okocha revealed this in an interview with The Nation on Sunday.
He stressed that he has been openly and privately begging Wike to join the APC to move the party forward together.
According to the public comments, the Rivers State former governor is psychologically an APC member, and just a mole in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The State party chairman said those saying such are entitled to their opinion.
He also made it known that Wike has never attended the meeting of the APC and Wike is not the only opposition politician working with Present administration under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu.
He added, however, that the APC couldn’t have won the presidential election in Rivers State without Wike’s support, and the former Governor has nothing to prove to his detractors.
According to Okocha, “I have taken to the podium and even the streets a million times to beg Wike to come to the APC. I have used the words, come to Macedonia and help us. We have been begging him to come to the APC.
“He is the magician and the dean of politics of Rivers State. He is the grandmaster as of today. And having defeated everybody back to back, he is the champion. How many lions can someone kill before they can be called a lion killer?
“On the claims that he is psychologically and every other thing in APC and a mole in PDP, I will say that people are entitled to their opinion. Wike has never attended any APC meetings”.
