A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Emmanuel Ogidi, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of empowering Nyesom Wike to destroy the opposition party, but believes the FCT minister would soon turn on the ruling party.
Ogidi on Wednesday during an appearance on Channels TV’s The Morning Brief, said “How can you reconcile with people? How can you reconcile with the man who wants to bring down your house? Now look at APC—APC, after all the shouting now. But they were the ones who empowered him to try and destroy the PDP.
“So he did something. He’s going to give them their own. So you see, when you have a member of your family who is running wild, you just put him aside.”
Wike worked against the PDP in the 2023 presidential election, backing the APC for Nigeria’s exalted position.
The immediate governor of Rivers State cited the non-adherence to party laws with the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as the party’s flagbearer in that election.
He was later appointed as minister, but recently had a spat with the National Secretary of the APC, Ajibola Basiru.
