Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has cautioned former President Goodluck Jonathan against defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
In 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.
Recall that in 2015, Jonathan lost his reelection to Buhari, APC candidate.
A private visit by some chieftains of the APC to Jonathan in 2020, has sparked speculations that the former president might join the ruling party to contest for the 2023 elections.
However, former President Jonathan has not made a public declaration if he is going to join the APC or contest for the 2023 presidency.
In the meantime, APC has, however, said Jonathan will be allowed to contest for presidency again if he joins the party.
