Coalition: Sirika denies dumping APC, knocks Wike, Onanuga

Former Minister of Aviation Hadi Sirika has dismissed reports claiming that he has dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress to join the newly unveiled opposition coalition under the African Democratic Congress,ADC.
In a statement on his X handle on Thursday, Mr Sirika pledged his loyalty to former President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC.
He also took a swipe at the Minister of FCT Nyesom Wike and Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga for linking him to the coalition.
He described their action as pedestrian and urged the public to disregard them.
“I watched HE Nyesom Wike today on Arise claiming that I have joined the so-called coalition
“Whilst still in shock, I read on Premium Times a report credited to Chief Bayo Onanuga, making the same claim”, he posted.
“I am a founding member of the APC; I gave it its name. I have no plans to leave it. I will always be where President Buhari is. If you must hate him, hate me too. I have no apology.
“At their levels, they ought to fact-check. I call upon our loyal members to ignore both statements and consider them pedestrian”, he wrote.
