The Mister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has replied critics within his party, especially those pushing for his removal from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Speaking during a media interaction on Monday in Abuja, Wike dismissed attempts to expel him from the party, asserting his continued loyalty and significant contributions to its growth and success.
Wike emphasized that despite the internal tensions and criticisms aimed at him, he remains a committed and active member of the PDP.
He stressed that no one within the party has the authority or the influence to strip him of his membership.
According to the minister, he has worked tirelessly for the PDP and played a major role in its development, which gives him a strong standing within the party.
“I am still in PDP. I worked hard for the party. I have not seen anybody who will have the guts to tell me, Wike, you are not a member of the party. Who is that? What is his contribution to the party that is more than me?” he queried.
This bold declaration highlights Wike’s confidence in his political position and his refusal to be intimidated by internal opposition.
The minister’s remarks suggest a deep-seated frustration with those seeking to question his loyalty or influence within the PDP.
His comments also reflect a broader power struggle within the party, as various factions vie for control and influence in the lead-up to future political contests.
Wike’s statement is a direct challenge to his critics, suggesting that their efforts to sideline him are not only unwarranted but also unlikely to succeed.
By openly confronting the issue and defending his record, Wike is positioning himself as a resilient and indispensable figure in the PDP.
The episode underscores ongoing political tensions in the PDP and raises questions about unity and direction within the party.
