Thursday, June 12, 2025 - President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday June 11, said he will welcome Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike into the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) whenever he chooses to officially join his party
Speaking during the commissioning of the Arterial Road N16
and other infrastructure in the Katampe District of Abuja, President Tinubu
commended Wike’s contribution to governance and light-heartedly referenced the
minister’s signature tune from his previous political rallies.
“We have
somebody—Nyesom Wike—he is not a member of my party (APC), not yet. But the day
he changes his mind and registers with the progressives, we will welcome him.
Because we will enjoy singing ‘as e dey pain dem, e dey sweet us''the President
said
Wike, a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), has stirred political discourse since publicly supporting Tinubu during
the 2023 general election and even serving as a Minister in the government. He
has however maintained that he is still a member of the PDP and is only working
for the APC-led government for national interest.
