The Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of All Progressives
Congress, APC, Rivers State, Chief Tony Okocha, has downplayed claims that
President Bola Tinubu handed over the party’s structure to the Minister of the
Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.
Okocha said Tinubu will not hand over the party’s structure
to Wike because the minister is not a member of the APC.
He said Wike has not indicated any interest to leave the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Speaking on a live radio programme in Port Harcourt on Monday, Okocha said, “If you are talking about an alliance, I aligned with Nyesom Wike and I am still aligning with him.
“The issue of handing over the party to Nyesom Wike; he is
not a member of the APC for crying out loud and everybody knows that he is a
staunch founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“He has boasted times without number that he has benefited a
lot from the PDP and that he was not in a hurry to leave the party. I am not
aware; he hasn’t mentioned it to me and he has not mentioned it to anybody.
“Of course, he is not a man that will hide a decision like
that from Nigerians. If Wike wishes at any time to enter any other political
party different from the PDP, Nigerians will hear; Nigerians will know.
“So, as we speak, he is a staunch member of the Peoples
Democratic Party. For anybody to assume that the President is handing over APC
structure to a PDP member, that person will be missing the point.”
