Arguably the hammer man of the opposition arty, Wike has reveaed what he will do shuld Jonahan heeds the open-door invitation to come and pick the APC presidential ticket in 2023.

“It is not about ethnicity for me, but about the party,” he told the BBC Pidgin Service.

Wike and Jonathan are from the south-south.

“If he is APC, I won’t support him because I’m not into that kind of politics,” he said.

“To pick ticket means you’re representing the interest of a party. I’m in PDP and I will not be involved in anti-party activities.”

Jonathan has denied the rumour.
