PDP Chieftain and National vice chairman of the people’s democratic party PDP, Chief Dan Orbih has stated that the FCT minister , Nyesom Wike is working for the good of Nigerians and not for the All progressive congress APC.
The PDP chieftain revealed that Wike previously sought permission through significant figures of the party hence PDP granted Wike the permission to serve with the President Tinubu administration.
He stated that Wike wrote to all necessary factions within PDP and with this in sight, there should be no problem with Wike working with the APC led administration.
The PDP Chieftain said “And I can tell you there is no record that the current acting national chairman and the members of the national working committee, or any of the organ wrote him in reply to his letter that he should not participate in this government.
“He wrote to the South-South Zonal executive. We had a meeting in Port Harcourt and unanimously we said it was a call to national service, and we gave him our nod.
“He wrote to the state chapter of his party and the response was positive; that he should take the appointment as a national call for service.
“He wrote to his ward and Local Government chapters of the party. There is no organ of the party that came out to say no, don’t accept this appointment.
“He wrote to the Governors Forum and I can tell you, that at the end of the first meeting held by the forum, a delegation of that body went to congratulate him in Abuja,”
The PDP Chieftain further stated that political parties should be mindful of how they treat their members.
“Now I have told you that his participation in this government is not an issue, except for those who are mischievous.
“When he was given an invitation to serve in this government, he wrote to every critical organ of the party, informing them that Mr President has invited him to be part of his government.
“I am also aware, that not too long ago, the members of the Board of Trustees met him in his official residence, and throughout that meeting, none of them raised this issue.”
“So, Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, is not working for APC; he is working for the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” the PDP chieftain explained.
The PDP Chieftain emphasized that his association and friendship with the FCT minister as well as his friends in opposition political parties should not be determined just by politics, stating that his friendship with other political party members does not influence his commitment to the PDP.
“Lets me make it abundantly clear here that my membership of PDP cannot determine those who are my friends and those who should be my enemies.
“If at my age, I now belong to a political party and the party tells me, this man cannot be your friend, then it is wrong.
“I have friends across board. I have friends in Labour Party, APC, and in many other parties, but that doesn’t affect my membership and commitment to the PDP.”
