Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has declared that he will remain a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) while serving under President Bola Tinubu.
Wike claimed he would stay with the PDP while serving as a minister under Tinubu because he is not a man who falls in to fear.
He revealed this during an interview with BBC Pidgin.
When asked if he would leave PDP, Wike responded stating: “I can’t do that, I’m not afraid – how will I build a house and you now ask me to vacate the play.
“It’s you that will leave the house not me that built it. You want to spoil a house that I built, I won’t allow you. I won’t leave, I will remain there.
“Opposition does not show impunity or arrogance, it’s the ruling party that does impunity and arrogance because we are in power.
“The one that pains me is the threats from them (South-East PDP). Let me ask you, who is there? Achike Udenwa who is a former governor of Imo and has no single National Assembly member, he didn’t give his party three percent of votes, yet is threatening.
“Sam Egwu, former Ebonyi State governor has no National Assembly member and did not produce a governor, yet is threatening – he is empty – which threat is he issuing?
“We that have produced governor, National Assembly members have not issued any threat, it’s you that can’t give your party three percent that is threatening.
“I have told them that if they zone, when we get to the bridge, we will cross it but they are fraudulent and I have told them that it will kill them.”
Additionally, Wike said that he will not challenge President Bola Tinubu for the president in 2027 adding that he will not run against Tinubu in 2027 because he is now working with him.
Wike added, “I will not contest again, I should contest against somebody I’m working with,” Who would win it if not him (Tinubu)?”
