Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal has asked Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), to clarify his political allegiance amid his involvement with the Rainbow Coalition.
Lawal spoke in an interview with Channels Television’s Inside Sources on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York, where he said Wike should make his political position clear.
The governor said Wike had insisted that he could not simultaneously support the All Progressives Congress (APC) and other political parties.
“Our message is very very clear: be on one side, you can’t be on two sides,” he said.
“If you are in APC, please come out and support the APC, not you are supporting APC here and you are supporting some other political parties somewhere else.
“We maintain our stand and the message is very clear. He can speak, he can say whatever he wants to say, but our position has been very clear, APC all the way from head to toe.”
Lawal also said he would discuss Wike’s political position with President Bola Tinubu when the president returns from his working vacation abroad.
He noted the governors were asking Wike to join the APC.
“It’s something I will discuss with the President when he comes back,” he said.
“Let there be a clear line where this guy belongs to. It’s either he is in APC or he is out, simple. So I go with my brothers, the governors.”
