Nyesom Wike’s Surprise Move: FCT Minister Announces Defection Date to APC, See His Words That Raised Concern
In a noteworthy turn of political events, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and former Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Nyesom Wike, is on the brink of making a significant announcement– his formal defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). This pivotal move, scheduled for December 15, 2023, is anticipated to reshape the political landscape, marking a departure from his current party affiliation.
The Boss Newspapers has reliably gathered information from inside sources, shedding light on this imminent political manoeuvree. Despite presently holding a key ministerial position within the APC- led cabinet, Wike’ s party allegiance remains with the PDP. The slated announcement adds a layer of intrigue to his political trajectory, considering his previous staunch disavowal of any association with the APC during the buildup to the 2023 elections. At that time, he vehemently expressed that aligning with the APC would be akin to exchanging one ailment for a more severe one, drawing a metaphorical parallel between the political parties and the progression from malaria to cancer.
Wike’ s political stance took an unexpected turn during the presidential election, where he actively worked against his own party’ s interests, contributing significantly to a narrow victory for the APC in Rivers State. This strategic divergence from party lines showcased his political dexterity and willingness to navigate the political landscape to achieve his objectives.
