The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, has said the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, is free to join the party if he chooses.
Yilwatda made this known during a media chat on Wednesday night, emphasising that the APC does not force anyone to become a member, as joining the party is entirely voluntary.
“If he wants to join the APC, he is free to do so. We don’t compel people to join APC. People willingly join APC,” he said.
He also dismissed suggestions that political appointments under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu are tied to party affiliation, noting that several individuals who once criticised the president are currently serving in his administration.
“There’s nowhere you will see that there was an agreement with us that you must join APC before you serve in our government.
“People that insulted Mr President, he appointed them. They are in our government. He didn’t ask them to join the APC,” he added.
Yilwatda further described Tinubu’s leadership style as inclusive, stating that even critics have been welcomed rather than sidelined.
“Those that insulted him, he welcomed them in broad daylight,” he said.
