Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers state, has warned former President Goodluck Jonathan against defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking during an interview with BBC News Pidgin, the governor said the APC will destroy the reputation of the former president if he joins the party.

Wike further asked Jonathan to remain in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) if he intends to contest for the presidency again.

“If I see the former President, I will tell him what I heard. I will tell him, don’t go anywhere because these people want to destroy your reputation. They don’t like you; you should know,” Wike said.

“What APC is doing now is to bring reputable people from PDP, and when they bring them, they destroy them so that they won’t have anywhere to go again. That’s what the APC is doing.

“I respect the former president because he is a man of integrity but if I am to advise him, I will tell him, ‘Sir, don’t make that mistake. If you want to run for President, run under PDP. Nigerians cherish you more than this government. They have seen that all the things the (Buhari) government promised them are lies. So, please don’t join the APC for the sake of your reputation.
