As the race to the 2023 general election gears up, there are indications that the Rivers State Governor, Mr. Nyesom Wike, may jump ship from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Wike, who contested at the recently concluded presidential primaries of the PDP and lost, came second behind Mr. Atiku Abubakar who polled the popular vote and was declared the winner.
Atiku polled 371 out of the 767 accredited votes to defeat his closest rival, Wike, who polled 237 votes.

The Presidential aspirant had on the heels of the turn out of the primaries accused PDP’s Southern governors of betraying the power shift agreement.

But, ever since the last outing which did not roll into his favour, his attempt to emerge as running mate to Atiku didn’t materialise.
Speaking with Blueprint in Akwa Ibom State shortly after meeting with all members of Tinubu Support Organization (TSO) over the weekend, the South-South Coordinator of the group, Mr. Gabriel Abijah, revealed that Wike will soon join APC.

Abijah, who revealed this said the party is working on the matter but, added that he can not make their modality known for now.
“As we speak, Wike will soon be a member of APC. we are working on the issue and I can not disclose our modality.

“He is our brother and we love him.”

He said with the current development, the APC presidential candidate, Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s victory will sweep all geopolitical zones including the south-south.
Abijah maintained that the political structure of APC in the state remains very strong and that the party faithful is more than 60 percent compared to PDP.

Rivers state has suffered, all the billions wasted in PDP is now gone !

Now APC will be gearing to get more funding from the oil rich state who's citizens got nothing back from all their funds used to support Buhari in 2015.

Rivers never got a rail line from Amaechi, never got their ports opened, no new roads or bridges from the Federal government.

If like let him dump all the party,he will never become a president or vice president.

A man with a wide loud mouth,saying all sort of things.

Wahala 4 waillers

But honestly, PDP is a crazy party. How can you betray someone like Wike that stood up for PDP for the last 8 years to ensure the party survives drought and famine. The political treachery was just too much.

You said PDP had constituted a committee for VP recommendation. The same committee said after due consultation and input from all the PDP stakeholders, they unanimously chose Wike for VP slot, only for Atiku to dump the recommendation and pick Okowa. Then why did he set up the committee in the first place?

He deliberately chose to humiliate Wike publicly because Wike had insisted before the primaries that power must come to South, and said that delegates should not vote for someone that abandoned PDP for another party and worked to make PDP lose (which was Atiku)

Anyway, that is PDP's loss, and we are so happy. APC will welcome Wike with open arms, his sins (corruption) will be washed away by Buhari anointing oil

APC SS when Wike finally cuts a deal with Tinubu for 2023, because Wike really show APC pepper for Rivers and SS

:DPresident Tinubu loading.

I don't think wike will decamp to Apc, he can be in PDP and work against the party. Because where will he starts from when even Rivers APC is not yet united. And wike is not on the same page with Amechi and Abe.

He only become as relevant as Akpabio

Wike is highly welcome.


Anything to bury PDP totally in 2023

Wike is no longer relevant.
Whether or not he remains in PDP is immaterial

Hmm

If Rivers suffered because you say he used Rivers money for presidential campaign, please, whose money is Lawan, Tinubu, Okorocha, Osinbajo, Amechi, Okowa, Umahi, Amosun , Emefiele , Fayemi and co using?

Once he leaves, he will destroy his political fortunes like Akpabio. SSners don't follow ashawo politicians upandan.

Even Babajide Otitoju of TVC said it the other day. The moment you enter APC and you are from the SS, you lose your grassroot followers.

Goodluck to him.

ChangetheChange:
Fake news
Same Wike and his loyalists we know here in port Harcourt will now be answerable and play second fiddle to Amaechi , Magnus Abe, Dakuku Peter side and Tonye Princewill in APC.
Same Wike that has imposed all his loyalists to contest all political positions under PDP
People that don't stay in Rivers state will just come online and post fake news about rivers state politics.
All these confused jobless Nigeria bloggers mostly from south west should go and learn how to draft a well cooked propaganda

Na yoruba muslims dey deceive WIKE. They want to use his emotions to destroy him. Why should leave PDP where all his boys are already contesting different positions to APC where he will play 5th fiddle after Amaechi, Abe, Dakuku and Tonye?

Ewedu muslims and their evil temptations. They are more interested in Rivers bloc votes for APC. The fools do not fathom that if Wike orders voters to vote against PDP, it may affect other elections like the Guber and parliamentary that his loyalists are contesting on the same day. Mugus!

Wike with SWAGA

Apc the party of failures

This is what people fail to understand. His political career is dead, and besides, is it a divided APC in Rivers He wanna join?
Comic relief

Lol it's easy to come together won't be hard. If they want to..

Lol. Wike is even more likely to campaign for his successor in PDP so his tracks would be covered. He knows the next thing is a knock on his door by the EFCC

Wike can only win Obio-Okpor LGA for APC, simle. He will be retired politically just like Uduaghan, Amaechi, Akpabio, and Umahi

I swear, Wike will tear into laugh reading this post.

I laughed and almost cracked my ribs. Wike decamp to APC my anus!

It will be easier for a Carmel to pass through the eye of a needle than for Tinubu to win any state in South/South how much more Rivers.

Funny lots! Dream on jare!

It can't be easy, even ameachi and Abbey didn't agree to work together. And they are in the same party for over six years now

WIKE my man

Wike can't be joke with in PDP o, PDP will not want to lose wike because they need Rivers state vote.

Omo agege that defected in 2018,was reelected and made deputy senate president... Everything depends on your game in trenches..

This is a good news so that all the good people of river state wil have no other options but be fully obidient, pdp would have gotten like 20% of their votes but with this news all vote goes obi's LP.
wike if you like paint the whole river state with broom non of us will vote the shaking image from iragbaji.
The whole of the south is locked for obi exempt the people from the waste, (sorry west) that wasted region I meant is without Lagos that we developed, lag is obi's to ride

Stupid talk we Rivers Bloods have special way of handling issues, that's why we are feared by all. If Wike ditch PDP and decamp what happens to the PDPs governorship candidate, moreover Amaechi and Wike are like Lion and the Hyena .

I know this is fake news considering how questionable the source of the report is, but Wike even in all his proclivity for lousy judgement won't be that stupid to decamp to a party where he will play second fiddle to the likes of Magnus Abe, Amaechi etc, his ego is top big for that.

Gov Dave Umahi and two other governor's have a case with PDP bothering on defection and Wike is the main person on those issues, so his meeting with Wike may be to persuade Wike to protect him from persecution .
