A former Governor of Abia State and current Chief Whip of the Senate, Orji Uzor Kalu, said on Thursday that plans are in the pipeline to ensure the Rivers state governor, Nyesome Wike joins All Progressive Congress soon.
According to Kalu, talks have been opened with Wike on the development. He added that the governor will soon land in APC.
Kalu spoke while addressing journalists after Wike had led him to inspect a project in Port Harcourt on Thursday.
The project inspected include: Rumuokoro Flyover bridge, 2nd Artillery flyover bridge, Real Madrid Football Academy and the Mother and Child Hospital in Rumuomasi.
While lauding Wike’s works in the state, Orji enjoined him to work with APC.
“He [Wike] is a man needed by us in the APC, it is my belief that a messiah can come from anywhere. I urge the Governor to partner with the APC, I discussed with him all through the night to find a common ground with the APC, I believe that very soon it shall come to reality.
“So I urge Governor Wike to soft-pedal on our party, humans can switch from one party to another which is human behaviour in Africa.
“I appeal to him to partner with us so that the good people of Rivers can benefit more from the Federal Government of Nigeria,” Kalu said.
