Former President of the Nigerian Senate, Bukola Saraki, has slammed governors of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) over their intention to take Nyesom Wike of Rivers State away from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), IgbereTV reports
He branded their recent visit to the governor as a miscalculation, stressing that Wike remained a bonafide member of the PDP.
Three governors from the ruling party, Babajide Sowon-Olu of Lagos Lagos, Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State and Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State, had on Friday paid a visit to the Rivers State governor at his residence.
The team also visited the former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose.
The visit was connected to speculations that Wike might consider defecting the opposition given the hiccups among members and his failure to secure the presidential ticket of the party.
Speaking on the development in Ilorin, Kwara State capital on Saturday, Saraki dismissed the defection rumours, adding Rivers State Governor remained a formidable member of the opposition.
He hinted at the steps being taken to resolve the post-presidential primaries crisis currently rocking his party.
He also lambasted the ruling party for its failure to provide solutions to the country’s myriad of problems
