The All Progressives Congress (APC) chapter in Rivers State has stated that Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has no control over its operations.
According to Tony Okocha, the chairman of the Rivers APC caretaker committee, Wike is not a party member and does not attend any political gatherings.
Okocha claims that Wike never shows up for any of their political gatherings.
Speaking to reporters at the All Progressives Congress national secretariat in Abuja, Okocha called Wike a “unrepentant” PDP member.

He said, “When I hear this, I laugh because Wike is a member of PDP, unrepentant PDP. We are the ruling party here. Will anybody suggest that because Mr Wike is a minister under our government of APC, we should be at dagger with him?
“Wike doesn’t attend our meeting. I have briefed you here. We have held meetings with stakeholders, but Wike was never there. So at what point does he influence APC in Rivers State?
“His influence, as much as you know, is because he is a minister under an APC government. So we can’t be in enmity with him. But to say that he influences us, how? Does he pay our bills or attend our meetings? The answer is no.”
