“I dare PDP to suspend me for being in Tinubu’s government” — Wike

The minister of Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike has dared its party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to suspend him for being in President Bola Tinubu’s government, saying that he remains a member of the PDP.

Wike said this on Wednesday as a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today when he was asked if he was still a member of the opposition party.

His words: “Governance is not about party. Party is a vehicle that conveys you. I’m a PDP member — unrepentant.

“I never hid my intention. As a PDP member, I came out to support fairness, equity, and justice.

“I feel at home working for the government of President Tinubu. He is a man, who means well for the country.

“I’m not here to work for a party. I’m here to support the president, who has confidence in me. I owe nobody an apology.”

When asked if he was afraid that the PDP could suspend him, Wike queried whether there was anyone in the party, who could suspend him.

“How can anybody talk about expelling me? With all due respect, I have not seen that person. Nobody will do it. So, the issue that they will do it does not arise.

“Who will discipline me? I should be the one calling for the discipline of people, who violated the party’s constitution on rotation of offices.”
