Tony Okocha, the chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) caretaker committee in Rivers State, expressed his desire for FCT Minister Nyesom Wike to join the party.
In an interview with The Nation, Okocha revealed that he has been actively persuading Wike to join the APC, both publicly and privately.
Addressing the speculations that Wike is already a member of the APC and merely a mole in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Okocha acknowledged that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but clarified that Wike has never attended any APC meetings.
He also emphasized that Wike’s support was crucial for the APC’s victory in the presidential election in Rivers State, and that he has nothing to prove to his critics.
Okocha praised Wike’s political prowess and referred to him as the “magician” and “champion” of Rivers State politics.
He also highlighted that Wike is not the only opposition politician working with President Bola Tinubu and that he has been rewarded for his contribution to the APC’s success in the state.
