Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and join them.
The call was made by APC’s Caretaker Committee Chairman, Tony Okocha while speaking with newsmen in Port Harcourt after 27 state lawmakers defected to his party.
He noted that Wike aided his party in winning the February 25 presidential election and acknowledged that he is a very influential politician.
He went on to advise the former governor of Rivers State to join his party because they are the ones in power at the centre.

Asked if the defection was part of plans for Wike to join APC, Okocha said: ”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.
“In 2023, he immensely aided the victory of APC in the state.
‘’The best thing we are asking him to do is to come and join the APC because it is the government in power.”
