Ndume, who represents Borno South in the Senate, made the remarks during a Channels Television interview on Friday, April 11.
According to Ndume, Wike’s one led is both in the APC and the other in the PDP.
Legit.ng reported that amid his rift with top PDP chieftains, including Atiku Abubakar, FCT minister Nyesom Wike has vowed to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second-term bid.
At an event in Rivers state, Wike said he has no regret supporting Tinubu and snubbing Atiku Abubakar, the PDP flagbearer in the 2023 presidential election.
Ahead of the 2027 general election, Wike disclosed what he would do if asked to support President Tinubu.
However, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar remained undecided about contesting the 2027 presidential election, stressing the need for a strong opposition coalition first.
But speaking on Friday, Senator Ndum said:
“Politics is about interest; when people see that their interest will not be served very well in a particular place, they move especially in Nigeria where politics is more of platform not ideology.
“People can move around and it doesn’t raise their conscience. they are some people that are not even ready to move around but they stick to it.
“There are some people that have been in PDP since day one, they have never moved. Like Bode George.
“Nyesom Wike has been in the PDP and has never changed his party but now you can”t say where he is; One leg is in PDP and the other leg is in APC.”
