APC has written FCT Minister Wike to officially dump the PDP.
NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has sent a message to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to officially join the party.
This Nigeria news platform understands that the party in Rivers State made this request citing Wike’s importance. Tony Okocha, the APC Caretaker Committee Chairman, emphasized that as the ruling party, they believe Wike should align with them. This statement came after 27 state lawmakers defected to the APC, and Okocha addressed journalists in Port Harcourt.

Regarding whether the defection was part of a plan to bring Wike into the APC, Okocha stated, “I don’t think so. Whatever their reason is, when they get to the bridge they will cross it. Wike is a politician whose name shakes and echoes in the society; so nobody can think or say for him if he will defect to APC or not.”
He highlighted Wike’s significant role in aiding the APC’s victory in the state during the 2023 elections, adding, “The best thing we are asking him to do is to come and join the APC because it is the government in power.”
