The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Nentawe Yilwatda, has expressed his admiration for the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike’s work rate, while wondering when he sleeps.
Yilwatda, who said he’s jealous that Wike is in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, wished he could cause the Minister to defect to the APC.
He spoke during the flag-off of construction of Collector Road CO1 from Nile University area to Ring Road III, Extension of Body of Benchers road.
The road flagged off was part of projects to mark President Bola Tinubu’s third anniversary in office and he was represented by Yilwatda.
However, Yilwatda said: “The workaholic, every working, and tireless Minister, and I don’t know when you sleep.
“The Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, you know that I’m jealous that you are in the PDP, I wish I could corner you and bring you to APC.
“But I’m happy that PDP borrowed you to us in 2023 and I saw your letter then to the National Working Committee of PDP borrowing you to us.
“I don’t know that it would lead to such a remark feat by you that what APC can do some of the PDP members can also do it.”
