Wike Agrees With Tinubu On APC’s 2023 Virus: It’s Worse Than Coronavirus

By Emmanuel Aziken

Nyesom Wike has said that he agrees with Bola Tinubu over the problems in the All Progressives Congress, APC being about a 2023 virus affirming that the affliction with the party is worse than raging coronavirus.

Speaking with newsmen in Port-Harcourt on Tuesday, the governor described the APC as an association that was only concerned about the removal of Former President Goodluck Jonathan.  He said that having removed Jonathan,  APC has been unable to use power to the advantage of Nigerians.

He said that having accomplished their aim that the party was now doing everything to rubbish the judiciary.

Agreeing with Tinubu on the problems with the party, he said:

“I agree with the Former Lagos State Governor,  Senator Bola Tinubu that the crisis in APC is about 2023. Everyone wants to be President or Vice President.  This virus is indeed worse than coronavirus,” he said.

Governor Wike said that Nigerians must be vigilant and work towards protecting the Judiciary.

“We must protect the Judiciary to do its work.  But the Judiciary should protect itself.  APC has destroyed the Judiciary,” he said.

Governor Wike wondered why the Judiciary should allow leaders of the APC to toss it around as has been witnessed during the party’s internal crisis.

He decried the situation where the Court of Appeal granted a stay of execution on the suspension of the APC National Chairman,  but the FCT High Court went ahead to declare another person the Acting National Chairman. He said only the National Executive Committee of political parties have such powers.

He said: “The Judiciary should be very careful.  The Judiciary should be alert. It should not allow itself to be used. It should not allow itself to be destroyed.

“APC should not be allowed to destroy the Judiciary.  Judiciary was there before APC.  It was there before any political party.  I cannot see the Judiciary being destroyed and keep quiet.

“I am not interested in what happens in the APC. But I am concerned with the Judiciary and its survival. “

He urged the Chief Justice of Nigeria to caution judges.

“With what the APC is doing today, we may not have the Judiciary and everyone will pay the price. The party is trying to destroy the hope of the common man,” he said.
