A faction of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State has revealed why it wants former governor of the state, Nyesom Wike to join its fold.
Leader of the group, Tony Okocha in a statement said they want Wike in the party to stand a chance of winning elections in the state in 2027.
According to him, APC has become a social club because it cannot win elections, adding that it may not be sane that in 2027 Wike will not be in the party to help them.
He also said his purpose of supporting Tinubu was not because of what he will get, but for the joy of having him lead the nation.
“It may not be sane that in 2027 Wike will not be in APC to help us. APC in Rivers State is in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit). We collectively called on Wike. It is not a personal call. We don’t want interlopers from middling into our activities,” he said.
“My purpose of supporting Tinubu was not because of what I will get, but for the joy of having him lead the nation. Before the election, all of us were in APC under Tinubu’s slant. We were under Tinubu’s Vanguard. APC has become a social club because it cannot win elections. We need to rejig and harness eggheads,” he added.
