Nyesom Wike To Pdp: I Dare Anyone To Suspend Me From Pdp

POSTED ON August 30, 2023 •   Politics      BY Ugwuagwu John •   VIEWS 50

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has dared the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to suspend or discipline him.

Wike disclosed that he informed the party’s hierarchy before taking up the ministerial offer from President Bola Tinubu. In an exclusive chat with Channels TV during the programme Politics Today, Wike boasted that he is yet to see any official who will suspend or expel him from the PDP. He said: “Who will discipline me? I should be the one calling for the discipline of these people who violated the party’s constitution in the way that the party supported rotation. “Who will suspend me? I want to dare anybody. Wike added that despite being a member of the opposition party, he will do everything possible, as a minister, to support President Tinubu of the All Progressives Party to do well. Recall that he joined four other governors from the party to form the famous G5 group, a faction within the Peoples Democratic Party, just before the 2023 General Elections. He stated that he owed no one an apology for supporting the power shift to southern Nigeria. “We are just waiting for the presidential panel to finish; you will know who actually are those who are working well for the party. “How can anybody talk about expelling me? A state that brought a governor? A state that brought three senators? A state that produced 32 House of Assembly members? A state that produced 11 out of 13 House of Representatives. “The person that would suspend me is the one that couldn’t produce a governor, is the one that couldn’t produce three senators? “I have not seen that person, with all due respect. Nobody will do it. So, the issue of they will do it does not arise,” he added.
