DRAMA AS APC DISOWNS FCT MINISTER WIKE

The All Progressives Congress (APC) announced on Tuesday that former Rivers State Governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, does not influence decisions made by the Rivers State chapter of the party.

The APC clarified that Wike is not a member of their party and does not attend their political meetings.

Tony Okocha, Chairman of the Rivers APC caretaker committee, addressed the media at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, describing Wike as an “unrepentant” member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Okocha stated, “When I hear this, I laugh because Wike is a member of PDP, unrepentant PDP. We are APC here. Will anybody suggest that because Mr. Wike is a minister under our government of APC, we should be at daggers with him?

“Wike doesn’t attend our meetings. We have held meetings with stakeholders, but Wike was never there. So at what point does he influence APC in Rivers State? His influence is because he is a minister under an APC government. We can’t be in enmity with him. But to say that he influences us, how? Does he pay our bills or attend our meetings? The answer is no.”

Regarding the membership of former Governor Rotimi Amaechi, Okocha stated, “On the issue of Amaechi, I have no question to answer. I was Chief of Staff to Rotimi Amaechi. Recall that at one point, he got into law school and for that one year became incommunicado. After the presidential primary election, he disappeared into thin air.

“Whether he is still a party member or not, I wouldn’t know because in all the meetings we called, he didn’t show up. For example, we called a meeting for all former governors and ministers, and he (Amaechi) sent a message to the party secretary, warning him never to send him a message about the party again.
