APC members are uncomfortable with some of Wike’s antics – APC chieftain, Jesutega Onokpasa

Jesutega Onokpasa, a prominent member of the APC, has asserted that many within the party are uneasy about the actions of the current Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, amid his ongoing dispute with Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara.

During an interview on Arise TV, Onokpasa clarified that neither the APC nor President Bola Tinubu is involved in the current crisis in Rivers State. He emphasized that Wike, not being a member of the APC but an appointee of the President, should cease his disruptive behavior and focus on his responsibilities as the FCT Minister.

He said; ”Our party has no hand in whatever is happening in Rivers state. As for Wike, a lot of our party members are pretty uncomfortable with some of his antics. That is just the bitter truth. Our President called, called Governor Fubara, tried to achieve a settlement between the two parties and then the next thing we hear is some people are decamping and there are moves to impeach the governor and we woke up one morning and then a budget is presented, some people their seats are declared vacant, the House of Assembly is being demolished. These are very bad optics. That is just the truth and I personally, I am uncomfortable with….not only me, a lot of our party members, with Minister Wike. What are basically his excesses> You are a Minister of the Federal Republic for God’s sake. You are not even a member of our party. Our president gave you and appointment. Face your job for God’s sake. Enough of these antics, these excesses.”
