He stated this while speaking on Arise News’s ‘Morning Show’ on Thursday morning, August 22, Premium Times reports.

“I see him as a coward who is not bold enough to leave the PDP and go to the APC. Having taken a stance against the PDP, a gentleman who wants to be respected should have resigned from the PDP. You cannot be hot and cold at the same time. You cannot be kicking against the PDP and still claim you are still PDP.”

He said it is time for people to tell Wike the truth because he cannot claim to be a PDP member and still be fighting the party.
