Former governorship candidate of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, in Rivers State, Tonye Cole, has urged the Minister of the
Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to formally join the ruling party and
end speculations about his political stance.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday,
Cole said Wike should “leave the PDP and come to the APC” to avoid confusion
and division.
Wike has been at the centre of protracted leadership crisis
in the PDP since after the 2023 general election.
The Minister claims he belongs to the PDP but has openly
worked for the ruling APC.
Cole, however, claims Wike’s moving to APC would strengthen
democracy by allowing other political parties to build their structures without
interference.
Cole added that once Wike’s position is clear, the political
landscape would become more defined.
He said: No, it will not. And the reason being that the only
person who has to make, who is left to make a declaration as to where he stands
in terms of all of this, is the Minister Nyesom Wike. And where I would implore
him to act very, very simple and honorably, is to come and join the APC. Leave
the PDP, come and join the APC so that we all know now that we are standing in
one block, no division, no confusion, nothing.
“Everybody is one block. This is where we are, so that we
begin to play the dynamics of party politics in the state. Allow PDP to be,
allow ADC to be, allow Labour Party to be, allow YPP to be. Let all.. that’s
what democracy is about. Let parties form their strength and come into the
equation. Once that happens, then we know where we are, but as it is right now,
no.”
