The former lawmaker, in the interview published on Sunday, August 27, 2023, said Wike would be more respected if he defected to the APC and worked without distraction by the ruling party and the PDP.

Sani said:

"My advice is for Nyesom Wike to simply defect to the APC where he will be able to serve the party and also leave the PDP to play its role as an opposition party.

"It will be more respectable for him to join the APC and work without being distrusted by both sides because if he continues to divide his legs between the APC and the PDP, he will lead a very confused, disorganised and unstable political career.

"The best thing is for him to defect so that he can work very well for President Tinubu and also for the APC."
