*Fourth Republic only attempted Govt of National Unity was Obasanjo’s appointment of AD’s Bola Ige, lost his life – Investigation
By OUR REPORTER
A former member of the House of Representatives, who represented Bukkuyum/ Gummi Federal Constituency in Zamfara State, Hon. Sani Muhammad Takori, has revealed that if Wike defects to the All Progressives Congress, APC, he will be frustrated and humiliated.
Takori advised that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Wike, should think twice.
Speaking with newsmen in Gusau, the State capital, Takori said that when Abdulahi Adamu came on board as the APC national chairman, he was frustrated by the powers that be.
According to him, since 27 Rivers State lawmakers who are his loyalists have defected, there is every indication that Wike will also defect to the APC, “but he will regret it at last.”
Takori further stated that “if the 27 State lawmakers later decide to reject godfatherism, then Wike will be on his own”.
He lamented that the minister has created serious political tension in Rivers State.
“Though the APC leaders are wooing him to defect to the party, even promised to make him the leader of the party in his State, but if he defects, sorry will be his second name.
“If Wike defects to APC, he will meet his equals with different characters; if he is a betrayer, he will see betrayers, and if he is wicked, he will also meet more wicked people than himself,” he added.
The APC chieftain advised Wike to remain in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The DEFENDER’S investigation revealed that the last time a Government of National Unity (GNU) was attempted was during the first four years of Olusegun Obasanjo civilian administration between 1999 and 2003 with Alliance for Democracy (AD)’s Chuef Bola Ige given appointment as Minister of Power.
From records, Bola Ihe remained the AD member that he was even as he was later made Attorney General and Minister of Justice.
The GTU, however, had no good ending as Bola Ige was killed in circumstances believed to involve members of the then ruling party.
