Why Wike visited me – Ganduje

The All Progressives Congress, APC, National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, has said he and minister-designate, Nyesom Wike never discussed defection to the ruling party.

Ganduje said Wike only paid him a congratulatory visit over his emergence as APC National Chairman.

He said Wike vowed to cooperate and work hard to move his ministry forward.

Addressing journalists in Abuja, Ganduje said: “You know Wike is an honourable minister-designate.

“So he came; we discussed it because I was looking for him to congratulate him on that, and also he came to congratulate me.

“We discussed that when he becomes minister fully, he will work very hard in order to move the ministry he is given forward, and he is ready to cooperate.

“But we didn’t discuss the issue of his coming to APC or not coming to APC. That issue will arise later.”
