He also gave insight into his deliberations with minister-designate, Nyesom Wike, when the former Rivers State governor visited his Abuja residence, earlier in the week. “We discussed that when he becomes minister fully, he will work very hard to move forward the ministry he would be given, and he is ready to cooperate. But we didn’t discuss the issue of his coming to APC or not coming to APC. That issue will arise later.”
He said: “The PDP is a government that was in power for 16 years. Its instinct is that of a government party; not an opposition party. And it has taken us eight years to begin to realise this. We smell the coffee; that it’s not four years and we are back…or we are coming back the next day. “We must do the work of mobilisation and imbibe technology. The last four years have taught us a bitter lesson that a young party can come up and take away PDP strongholds in an election cycle.”
