Nentawe Yilwatda, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has joked that he wished he could poach Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Yilwatda spoke on Monday during the flag-off of the construction of Collector Road CO1 from the Nile University area to Ring Road III and the extension of the Body of Benchers Road in Abuja.

The APC chairman praised Wike for his performance as FCT minister, describing him as hardworking and tireless.

“The workaholic, ever-working and tireless minister, and I don’t know when you sleep,” Yilwatda said.

“The minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, you know that I’m jealous that you are in the PDP. I wish I could corner you and bring you to APC.”

Yilwatda also referenced Wike’s support for President Bola Tinubu during the 2023 election, saying the PDP had “loaned” the former governor of Rivers to the APC.

“But I’m happy that PDP borrowed you to us in 2023 and I saw your letter then to the National Working Committee of PDP borrowing you to us,” he said.

“I don’t know that it would lead to such a remarkable feat by you that what APC can do, some of the PDP members can also do it.”

Wike, a member of the PDP, has maintained a close working relationship with the Tinubu administration since his appointment as FCT minister in August 2023.

His role in the APC-led federal government has continued to generate debate within the opposition party, with some PDP members accusing him of working against the party’s interests.

Ofunaofu:
But he's in the PDP, playing anti-party politics for the APC.

He's in the PDP to weaken and sabotage the opposition for the APC.

Isn't it better

comrade WIKE is a member of the PDP, he never attend any APC or other political parties meetings or rallies. False assumption is not good for your health . Comrade WIKE is not the first opposition member to work in a rulling party government

Ofunaofu:
Your difficulty seems not to be with my argument but with basic English comprehension.

Point out exactly where I said he is an APC member or that he attends APC meetings and rallies.

You know Wike is a man of balls, an emperor and a achiever, who's so efficient in the discharge of his ministerial duties! So, they must always assume and always have something to say about him.

And I like him for one thing, he never listen to the haters! They can say whatever, he never cares. He just does his job. If many other ministers can be like her in performance and commands, Nigeria will grow faster in infrastructure.
