Following the defection of Ebonyi State Governor, Dave
Umahi to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Governor
Yahaya Bello of Kogi State says his counterpart in Rivers State,
Nyesom Wike may soon join the ruling party.
Bello also said other governors of the opposition party
are planning to join the APC, adding that Wike might be the last to
dump the PDP.
The governor said this while featuring onChannels
Television’s Politics Today programme on Thursday, November 19,
2020.
He said Governor Umahi joined the APC because he
believed in the administration and policies of the party, adding
that other PDP governors including Wike are lining up to join the
ruling party.
He said, “Umahi is with us, others are coming.
Other governors are already knocking. They are on their way. We
will be unveiling them one after the other. Wike might be the last
to join the All Progressives Congress. Others are lining
up.”

Describing Umahi as the Politician of the Year, Bello
said the South-East people won’t regret the move by the
governor.
He added that
the APC would protect the interest of the people of the region in
the 2023 presidential election.
Meanwhile, controversy continues to trail Umahi’s
defection to the APC as the Ebonyi governor and Wike endlessly
attack each other.
Umahi, who defected to the APC on Tuesday, November 17,
2020, said he joined the ruling party to protest the injustice in
the PDP.
But the Rivers Governor believes Umahi defected to the
APC because he wants to become the President of Nigeria in
2023.
