‘I’m Jealous You Are In PDP, I Wish I Could Corner You To APC’ – Yilwatda Tells Wike
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, has admitted to being jealous that Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, is in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
NEWSNGR reports that Yilwatda spoke at the flag-off of the construction of Collector Road CO1, from the Nile University area to Ring Road III, and the Extension of Body of Benchers Road.
The road flagged off was part of projects to mark President Bola Tinubu’s third anniversary in office.
Yilwatda, who represented Tinubu at the event, expressed his admiration for Wike’s work rate, while wondering when he sleeps.
The APC chairman wished he could cause the Minister to defect to the APC.
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.”
