A former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has asked the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC), where he will be able to serve the ruling party.
The former lawmaker also called on Wike, the immediate past Rivers State Governor, to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to play its role as an opposition party.
In an interview with The Punch, Sani said Wike would be more respected if he defected to the ruling party and worked without being distrusted by both the APC and the PDP.
The former governorship aspirant said the FCT minister will lead a very confused, disorganised and unstable political career if he continues to stay in the PDP and also work for an APC government.
He said: “My advice is for Nyesom Wike to simply defect to the APC where he will be able to serve the party and also leave the PDP to play its role as an opposition party. It will be more respectable for him to join the APC and work without being distrusted by both sides because if he continues to divide his legs between the APC and the PDP, he will lead a very confused, disorganised and unstable political career.
“So, he has a lot to deliver. As a minister of the FCT, I have no doubt about his capacity as a performer. He will bring sanity to Abuja, but he is still being seen as a Judas, and the position he is occupying is his own 30 pieces of silver, and that is not a good position. The best thing is for him to defect so that he can work very well for President Tinubu and also for the APC.“
