Adams Oshiomhole, the lawmaker representing Edo North Senatorial District, has thanked the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for allowing Nyesom Wike to serve in the current administration.
According to Politics Nigeria, speaking at a New Year’s luncheon in Port Harcourt organized by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Oshiomhole praised Wike for his important role in President Bola Tinubu’s administration, particularly in efforts related to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Oshiomhole described Wike as a valuable asset to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and humorously referred to him as “an asset borrowed from the PDP.” He expressed appreciation to the opposition party for making Wike available to assist in the APC-led government.
“Thank you to the PDP for giving us Nyesom Wike to help us fix Abuja. I don’t belong to any club, I only support Bendel Insurance, but I listen to the Manchester United fans,” Oshiomhole said. “When you give your best player to another club, you pay a heavy price.”
He added jokingly, “Thank you for what you’re helping us do in APC. PDP in Rivers led you to us without asking for a transfer fee.”
Oshiomhole also humorously mentioned that the APC may not be thrilled to see Wike return to the PDP, noting his significant contributions to the current administration. “We may not be happy to send you back; we might even create a toll gate to stop that,” he quipped.
