President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday said he would gladly welcome Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike into the All Progressives Congress (APC) whenever he decides to join the party
Tinubu made the remark while commissioning the Arterial Road N16 and other infrastructure projects in the Katampe District of Abuja.
Praising Wike’s contributions to governance, Tinubu joked about the minister’s well-known campaign slogan from his days with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“We have somebody—Nyesom Wike—he is not a member of my party (APC), not yet,” Tinubu said.
“But the day he changes his mind and registers with the progressives, we will welcome him. Because we will enjoy singing, ‘as e dey pain dem, e dey sweet us’.”
The president’s comments drew laughter from the audience, including Wike, highlighting the cordial relationship between the two despite belonging to different political camps.
