Governor Nyesom Wike’s acceptance into the party would not be decided by Chris Finebone, the All Progressives Congress’s spokesman in Rivers State, who declared as much on Friday.
However, Finebone asserted that he did not believe the governor of Rivers State will switch from the PDP to the APC prior to the general elections in 2023.
This was said by the APC spokesman in response to certain APC Governors’ Friday visit to Governor Wike’s home in Port Harcourt.
Kayode Fayose, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and Rotimi Akeredolu, the governors of Lagos and Ondo states, have previously been mentioned by InsightnaijaTV as having visited Wike.
Finebone in his reaction said, “I won’t be the one to decide whether the door will be open or closed but if you ask me for my personal opinion, Wike will not go to the APC.
“Wike may work out something with those who are visiting him and might not necessarily go to the APC. There are thousand-and-one things he can arrange with those visiting him without pronouncing his movement to APC; that is my personal view.
“I think it is taking speculations too far that those three governors came with an ex-governor Fayose, it may be a sign of working together but it may also not mean out rightly decamping to join the party.”
