A former Rivers State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Tonye Cole, has called on the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to stop confusing Nigerian on which party he belongs to.
The Co-Founder of Sahara Group said this when he featured on a Channels Television programme: “Politics Today,” on Friday.
Cole said many Nigerians are confused on whether Wike is in the Peoples Democratic Party, as he frequently claims, or in the APC, where he is serving as a minister.
He said: “Is he (Wike) APC or is he PDP?
“As far as we know today, he is PDP.
“We cannot continue confusing the electorate in Rivers State and confusing Nigerians because it is dangerous for democracy.
“That you are in one party, and you are controlling another party.
“The only person who is left to make a declaration as to where he stands in all of this is the minister, Nyesom Wike.
