“After I was dismissed as APC National Chairman. I became lonely, abandoned by my own party. People were afraid to visit me then because it could be termed anti-party.

“But I got a call from a rare Nigerian, Wike, who identifies with those who are lonely and he invited me to commission a project in Rivers State,” according to him.

He added, “After I was dismissed as APC National Chairman I became lonely abandoned by my own party. People were even afraid to visit me because it could be termed anti party

“If anybody was in doubt, he did the one that yesterday when his party came second after the APC. To take second after APC, no issue. Particularly where some people did not over 100,” Senator Oshiomhole said he owes Wike a debt of gratitude.
