Rivers: Wike Does Not Influence Us, Not Our Member – APC

Posted by Thandiubani on Wed 24th Jul, 2024 - tori.ng

The Chairman of Rivers APC caretaker committee, Tony Okocha, said Wike is not a member of the party and does not attend any political meetings.

The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC has stated that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike is not a member of the party.

According to the party, Wike does not have any influence over its affairs.

The Chairman of Rivers APC caretaker committee, Tony Okocha stated this during a recent interview.

He added that Wike does not attend any political meetings.

According to Okocha, Wike does not attend any of their political meetings.

Addressing journalists at the national secretariat of APC in Abuja, Okocha described Wike as an ‘unrepentant’ member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He said, “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 dagger with him?

“Wike doesn’t attend our meeting. I have briefed you here. We have held meetings with stakeholders, but Wike was never there. So at what point does he influence APC in Rivers State?

“His influence, as much as you know, is because he is a minister under an APC government. So 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.”
