Mr Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has described Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori as a smart politician.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Mr Wike said this during a media chat televised live from the FCT on Monday.
Wike, who is a former Governor of Rivers State, said Governor Oborevwori is a smart politician for leaving the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Recall Governor Oborevwori in April led a mass defection of Delta PDP members, including former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, Delta Assembly Speaker, Mr Dennis Guwor and 21 PDP lawmakers, to the APC.
“I have always said that leadership is key. If you do not show the right leadership, you suffer for it. This is what I have been saying.
“I know that there will be an implosion. When people talk about the Governor of Delta State, and his predecessor, and all their team moved out of PDP to APC, what wrong did he do?
“That he said he was going to support Tinubu, the President, that is the crime.
“Chairman of board of trustees, the conscience of the party, adopted a Governor under Labour Party to go for second tenure, why are people not talking about that?
“Now, this man said I am not going to do that kind of pretence. I will not be here and say I will support you, it is better I move and go and support him. Smart politician!
“I am surprised that PDP said they did not see it coming,” Wike said.
