Rivers APC woos Wike, says PDP does not appreciate his value | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News ⬇️
Some members of All Progressives Congress in Rivers State have said the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party has no regard for former Governor Nyesom Wike’s political influence and called on him to join the APC and be their leader in the state.
The APC stalwarts expressed confidence that Wike’s leadership in Rivers APC would free them from the setback they suffered over the years and take them to great heights with President Bola Tinubu at the centre. They made the call, yesterday, in Port Harcourt during an extraordinary meeting held to harmonise issues and discuss the way forward. Leader of the group, Tony Okocha, said: “It does appear to us that the leadership of the PDP in Nigeria does not appreciate the influence, the pedigree that is embedded in Wike. So we are asking and calling on Wike to come over to APC and lead us.
“We won the presidential election because Rivers State is one of the states in Nigeria that delivered Tinubu, and in the whole of South-South and South-East, it is only in Rivers State that Tinubu won very well.” Okocha commended Tinubu for his commitment and steps taken to address the many woes of the nation. He said: “We can see the President putting square pegs in square holes in appointments and nobody has been able to fault him on the appointments. He is somebody, who does not have a godfather.”
