Breaking: Saraki plays down fears of Wike defecting to APC

The national leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has played down the rumours of a planned defection by the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

 

Recall that three APC serving governors visited Wike recently in a bid to woo him into the ruling party following his rejection as the running mate of the PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

 

Saraki, at a media interactive session with journalists in Ilorin on Friday, dismissed the fear that Wike may dump the PDP for the APC.

He expressed confidence that the party will resolve its internal crisis very soon and get ready for the 2023 general elections battle.
