Wike and Rotimi Amaechi, the former minister of transportation and ex-governor of Rivers state, have been the political enemy since the latter joined the ruling APC.
Amaechi’s camp has expressed their displeasure with the romance of Wike and the APC leaders while hinting at the possibility of the former minister being wooed by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.
Former minister wants Amaechi to reconcile with Wike over Tinubu's campaign
However, Shittu urged Amaechi and his camp to see the possibility of Wike joining the APC as an opportunity to reconcile with the Rivers state governor.
He said the former minister should be happy that someone like Wike, who is a tactician, is joining the APC.
According to him:
“Nobody will stop Wike if he wants to come to APC. Again, you know Wike is a tactician. If I were in Amaechi’s shoes, I would see Wike’s coming as an opportunity to settle and reconcile with him. What he should be thinking of at that point is that with Wike coming into the party, will there be an in-fighting anymore?”
