The All Progressives Congress says it is in talks with the Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike to support presidential candidate of the party, Bola Ahmed Tinubu in next year’s general elections.
A chieftain of the party, Farouk Aliyu said this during an interview on Channels TV on Tuesday.
According to him, they are not enemies of Wike whom he described as a very important person in the country, adding that they will welcome him if he decides to join them.
“We are talking to Wike. We are talking to so many of them. Of course, it is politics. So, we are not enemies of Wike, and he is a very important person in this country – a governor for that matter – and you cannot ignore Rivers State,” he said.
“So, if Wike decides to come to us, we would gladly welcome him, and I can confirm to you that we are talking to him,” Aliyu added.
