The former Edo state governor likened the move to a football club giving away its star player, Wike to the ruling APC, The Punch reports.
“Thank you to PDP for giving us Nyesom Wike to help us fix Abuja. I don’t belong to any club, I only belong to Bendel Insurance but I listen to those who say they are Manchester United fans [and the likes].
“When you are giving your best player to another club, you pay heavily.”
He jokingly added, “Thank you for what you’re helping us in APC to do. PDP Rivers led you to us without saying we should pay a transfer fee.
“We may not be happy to return you; we would even create a toll gate to prevent that.”
