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 leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and formally join the APC.

Speaking during an appearance on Channels Television Politics on Friday, he asserted that the Minister’s move to the APC would allow other parties to build their structure without interference.

He argued that once Wike’s position is certain, it would end confusion and division.

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.”
