However, Wike said he would want to rest for now, after serving as a governor for eight years.
According to him, “I’m going to rest; I have worked for eight years, so I’m going to rest.
“Tinubu has not informed me about getting an appointment; I’m not too big to serve my country, but he has never told me that he would give me an appointment.
“If he asks me, the first thing I will do is ask my wife and friends what they think about it.
“I will also assess myself if I’m prepared. I will never do what I’m not ready for,” he remarked.
Wike had ruled out plans to defect to the All Progressives Congress, even after meeting with President Bola Tinubu on Friday.
He said he only visited the president to offer him support four days after his inauguration
