The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike has insisted that he's still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party.
This is as he serves as FCT minister while under the All Progressives Congress.
Wike stated that even with threats of expulsion, he's still in the PDP.
“I am a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),” Wike said during a Friday media parley with selected journalists in Abuja. “Have you ever seen me change anything?”
Even though Wike insists he is a member of the PDP, the FCT minister has been absent from major meetings of the party and has not been seen campaigning for them in the recent off-cycle elections, he does not regret his action.
“The one I supported before, what happened? I have decided to take a break. As you see me now, everybody should carry their cross,” Wike maintained.
“I was in PDP and I did not hide it: I told them I was not going to support their presidential candidate. Is it that I spoke or acted in a way people did not understand?”
He maintains he is an advocate of the rule of law, saying his non-support of the party in the 2023 presidential election was the right step and thus moves for his suspension are uncalled for.
“Discipline me for what? That I did what? I am an advocate of the party’s constitution. Assuming we lost the governorship, will they be talking about Rivers as a PDP state?”
Since the elections and politicking are over, Wike has only one thing in mind.
“Now is the time for governance. Now is the time to do your assignment. The president has given me an assignment and I am busy carrying out my assignment,” the former governor said. “When the time for politics comes, we would know who is where and who is not where.”
