A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and social media commentator, Joe Igbokwe, has shared his thoughts on the verbal war between the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and the National Secretary of the ruling party, Ajibola Basiru.
Naijaonpoint reports that following the renewed hostility between Wike and the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, the APC Secretary had expressed support for the governor.
However, during an event in Rivers State on Monday, Wike asked the APC National Secretary to stay away from Rivers politics.
Reacting, Basiru, in a statement, asked Wike to resign his appointment and focus on what he described as an “obsession” with Rivers State politics.
Speaking on the rift between the duo in a Facebook post, Igbokwe described the altercation as a needless distraction.
He asserted that the face-off is uncalled for and unnecessary.
He said, “The altercations between Hon. Minister FCT, Nyesom Wike, and the National Secretary APC Nigeria, Ajibola Basiru, are totally uncalled for and unnecessary. It is a needless distraction.
“If out of annoyance you remove your cap and throw it away, a made man will pick it up and use it forever. Let the misunderstanding cease to exist now. (Sic)”
