Former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, made a significant move on Tuesday as he paid a visit to the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja.
This development follows closely on the heels of his recent meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, which took place just one week ago.
The timing of Wike’s visit to Ganduje has fueled speculations about his political affiliation.
However, these speculations gained traction after Wike was included in President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet, sparking displeasure among some leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
There have been discussions within PDP circles about the possibility of imposing sanctions on the former Rivers governor due to his nomination as a minister.
Notably, Nyesom Wike, who took an openly opposing stance against the PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, during the 2023 election, has repeatedly refuted claims that he is planning to defect to the ruling APC.
During his visit to the APC National Secretariat, Wike was joined by prominent leaders from the Rivers State PDP.
These recent developments have cast a spotlight on Nyesom Wike’s political trajectory and affiliations, leaving observers and political analysts curious about his next steps and potential implications for the Nigerian political landscape.
