Former Senate President Bukola Saraki says the visit by governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers state is a miscalculation.

According to him, Wike is regarded as an important member of the party and as such, would not be allowed to defect to an opposing party.

Last Friday, three governors on the platform of the ruling party visited Wike’s private residence in Port Harcourt.

The governors — Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo, Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti, and Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos — visited Wike who is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for a closed-door meeting.

Also present at the meeting was Ayodele Fayose, former Ekiti governor and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member.

However, Saraki affirmed that the opposition party will  address whatever disagreement exists while addressing reporters during the Eid celebration in Ilorin, Kwara state capital,

He noted that Wike is important to the PDP and the party won’t let him go.

“Wike is an important member of our party and I am very confident that in no distant time, we will sit down and address all the issues. There is no doubt about it that he has cause to feel the way he does, but there are better ways by which issue like this can be resolved,” Saraki said.

“The good thing is that we are all talking to one another. We are on top of the situation and PDP will reunite and forge ahead to win the next elections. I assure you that PDP will definitely resolve the family issue that it currently has.

“The fact that some APC governors went to see their colleague, trying to capitalise on what they think is an issue is a gross miscalculation. At the end of the day, their visit is going nowhere.

“The APC governors know that it is this kind of a crack they need to latch on. Fortunately, we are not going to give him to them because the election ahead is too important. The destinies of millions of Nigerians are too important and even bigger than any party or individual. I appreciate that all our stakeholders appreciate that and Governor Wike himself appreciates that.”
