Nwuke said the rumour that Wike visited Ganduje because he wants to join the APC does not hold water.

The former federal lawmaker also stated that Wike needs to have a good rapport with Ganduje because he will be working in a federal government led by APC.
So, what that means is that they share relationship and the decision of Wike to visit Ganduje who has just been made APC national chairman is not something that should raise eyebrows because they have shared relationships.
"Wike will be working in a federal government led by APC and he needs to be in good standing in terms of relationship with APC leaders. That does not in any way suggest as people are speculating that he is preparing to crossover to the APC."
Wike has not said he is leaving PDP
Nwuke further disclosed that Wike had not made any move to resign from the PDP.
Nwoke added that the PDP has also not taken any action towards suspending Wike from the party.
“There may be differences in PDP, but Wike has not offered to resign from PDP. PDP has not moved against Wike. All of these insinuations, in my opinion, does not hold water. We should wait, watch and see.”
