The All Progressive Party (APC) has called on the immediate past governor of Rivers state, Nyesome Wike to decamp party and resume leadership in the state.
Chief Tony Okocha, an ex chief of staff to the river state government in Apc made this known during a comprehensive party meeting in portharcourt, believes in Wike said he possesses the quality apc needs to secure election victories in the state.
“Wike should come over to APC and lead us,” noting the underappreciated influence of Wike within the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), he said.
Okocha praised Wike’s significant role in securing President Tinubu’s election victory in the state, asking the president to overlook those who prioritized personal ambitions over the party’s interests.
“We hear that people are scheming that they will receive what is due Rivers State. We are here to reemphasize that leadership is as old as creation. The leadership of APC in Rivers State have been at peace with Wike. When things were difficult, Wike obliged us,” said Okocha.
He also urged Mr president, Bola Tinubu to allocate whatever appointment benefits are due to Rivers State to Wike, as a reward for his contributions
