The APC chairman has told Nyesom Wike that he should join the party if he wants to work for President Bola Tinubu’s victory. The chairman used a metaphor about travelling in two directions to argue that Wike could not remain divided, according to Premium Times Nigeria.

The chairman of the All Progressives Congress has urged Nyesom Wike to join the party if he wants to work for President Bola Tinubu’s victory. “If Wike wants to work for Mr President, he should join his train,” the chairman said, according to a report by Premium Times Nigeria. He added that a person could not be at the end of two roads while claiming to be travelling east.

The remark was presented as an argument that Wike should not seek to support the president while remaining outside the APC. The supplied material does not provide Wike’s response or identify the occasion on which the APC chairman made the statement. It also gives no further details about Wike’s political affiliation, the nature of his relationship with the president or any discussions about a possible move to the ruling party.
