Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State on Friday, cautioned former President Goodluck Jonathan against defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC.<\/p>\n

Wike warned that APC has no good intention for Jonathan, adding that the ruling party is trying to ruin his hard-earned reputation.<\/p>\n

He spoke to BBC pidgin while reacting to the possibility of Jonathan defecting to the APC ahead of 2023.<\/p>\n

The governor cautioned the former president not to be deceived by the lures of getting APC\u2019s presidential ticket in 2023.<\/p>\n

According to Wike, such a move is aimed at destroying him because APC does not like him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will tell him not to go anywhere. \u2018These people don\u2019t like you. You should know them very well that they don\u2019t like you. What have they not said about you? Has all the things they said about you changed?<\/p>\n

\u201cAPC only intend on bringing in PDP people who have a name and destroying them so that they will not have anywhere to go again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI respect the former President. I know he is a man of integrity. If I have the chance to advise him, I\u2019d tell him, \u2018Sir, please don\u2019t make that mistake. If you want to run for President, run under PDP. Nigerians cherish you more than this government. They have seen that all the things government told them are lies.\u201d<\/p>\n
