Tinubu Says Wike Will Be Welcomed Into APC Whenever He Joins

President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday said he would gladly welcome the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, into the All Progressives Congress (APC) if he ever chooses to officially defect.

Tinubu made the remark while commissioning the Arterial Road N16 and other infrastructure projects in the Katampe District of Abuja.

Praising Wike’s contributions to governance, the president playfully referenced the former Rivers governor’s well-known campaign slogan.

“We have somebody—Nyesom Wike—he is not a member of my party, not yet,” Tinubu said. “But the day he changes his mind and registers with the progressives, we will welcome him. Because we will enjoy singing, ‘as e dey pain dem, e dey sweet us.’”

The comment drew laughter from the audience, including Wike, highlighting the continued camaraderie between the two political figures despite their different party affiliations.
