\"Victor<\/p>\n

In what seems as a political realignment, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, on Saturday, met with Victor Giadom, south-south Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n

The former Rivers State Governor, expressed happiness to have mended fences with his estranged friend, Giadom, who was Commissioner for Works under former Governor Rotimi Amaechi.<\/p>\n

The meeting took place at Giadom\u2019s home in Gokana Local Government Area of the State.<\/p>\n

Though Wike described his visit as personal and non-political, it has fueled speculation about his potential defection to the APC and his possible role in supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/p>\n

The event saw attendance from serving senators, House of Representatives members from Rivers, APC and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders, and two former PDP chairmen in Rivers, Felix Obuah and Desmond Akawor, PDP\u2019s south-south Chairman, Chief Dan Orbih, former PDP National Secretary, Sam Anyanwu, and various local dignitaries including traditional rulers, local government chairpersons, youth and women\u2019s groups.<\/p>\n

Wike who spoke on the aim of the visit said, \u201cI didn\u2019t come here for politics. I came here to visit my friend, Giadom. Let nobody misinterpret why I came here. That is why I came with PDP and APC leaders. It is a private visit to my friend.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that Giadom only gathered his people to show he was still politically relevant, noting that politics was about making impact on the people.<\/p>\n

Addressing Giadom, he said: \u201cI have never been in doubt about your capacity to relate with your people. Politics is about impact. If you want to be a successful politician you must impact on your people so that when you call them they will answer you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking about how people valued him across the country and how they always posed for pictures with him, Wike said it was a testament of his service to the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cForget about these hungry noisemakers on the road. When the time comes, we will know who is in charge and who is not in charge. There is a time for everything.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not time for politics. When the time comes, we will know who is who. If you like abuse me as you want . If you like employ everybody on social media. I have never bothered myself one day to know who is abusing me. Politics will come. We didn\u2019t contest election based on social media. We spoke to the people, they listened and believed in us,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

On his realignment with Giadom, the Minister said: \u201cParty will come and go and friendship will remain. We have made our mistakes, we are all humans but friendship remains.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was appointed a Minister, Victor Giadom led a team to congratulate me. It does not matter where you belong to what is important is the interest of Rivers. If you want to be a successful politician, greedy ones will not like you. Nobody has done well in politics without enemies. Those who hate you are in the minority. Those who love you are in the majority\u201d.<\/p>\n

Wike recalled his capacity when he held sway as the Rivers governor insisting that he would continue to support the administration of Tinubu.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was governor, Nigeria heard about Rivers State. That is what I have always preached. So, nobody should be afraid. I have no regrets when I stood by with my colleagues and friends that the presidency must go to the south.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was nothing I was not offered. But I said no. That is why I will continue to support the government of Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu. As I am going back home, I am going with the satisfaction that my friend is back.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis visit I came today will cause a lot of trouble. Some people will start visits now. Follow who knows road. Continue to support Victor and all your leaders who mean well for all of you.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the first time in the history, Ogoni man is the chairman of works. I am happy that Ledum Mitee is a member of the NNPCL. Let nobody do community problems. When you do that development will not come,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Giadom, on his part, referred to Wike\u2019s visit as homecoming of a brother, a friend and a leader and assured him that they would support a team he would lead in Rivers.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday is homecoming of a brother, a friend and a leader. I stand here on this ground to let you know that we have lived well, paid our dues and contributed to the development of this place.<\/p>\n

\u201cBe rest assured that we will support the team you will lead in Rivers to provide support for our President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is the main reason we are all here today. This place nobody can challenge any visitor on this soil. We are in firm control of this place,\u201d Giadom assured.<\/p>\n
