The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has said when it’s time for politics “we will know who is who”.
Wike said this when he visited Chief Victor Giadom, his old political ally and the South-South Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Saturday.
According to the minister, who was apparently referring to the political issues with Governor Sim Fubara: “This is not time for politics. When the time comes, we will know who is who.
“If you like abuse me as you want (sic). If you like employ everybody on social media. I have never bothered myself one day to know who is abusing me. Politics will come.
“We didn’t contest the election based on social media. We spoke to the people, and they listened and believed in us.”
However, his visit heightened the rumour that he may soon join the ruling APC.
This is coming barely two days after the former governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, Senator Magnus Abe, rejoined the APC.
Meanwhile, Wike, who was hosted by Giadom at Bera community in Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers state on Saturday, said he was happy to be back with his old-time friend.
The minister said that the visit was a private one devoid of politics.
Wike’s visit, which took political observers by surprise, attracted serving senators and some members of the House of Representatives from Rivers.
Also, leaders of both APC and the PDP, two former chairmen of Rivers PDP, Prince Felix Obuah and Ambassador Desmond Akawor, were with him.
South-South PDP Chairman, Chief Dan Orbih; PDP National Secretary, Sam Anyanwu, traditional rulers, local government chairmen, youths and women among many others, were also present.
Wike speaks
Speaking at the event, Wike said: “I didn’t come here for politics. I came here to visit my friend, Giadom.
“Let nobody misinterpret why I came here. That is why I came with PDP and APC leaders. It is a private visit to my friend.
