Wike To PDP: Bury Your Thought Of Suspending Or Discipline Me For Serving Under APC’s Government

By Akeem Oduyoye

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has warned serious the leadership of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) that should buried the thought of  suspending him from the party or discipline him for serving under the ruling All Progressive Congress(APC).

Wike stated this  during an interview ON Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Wednesday.

Recall that, Wike, the immediate past governor of Rivers State, was sworn in as minister of FCT few days ago under the administration of President Bola Tinubu of the ruling APC.

Addressing the voices against him following his appointment in APC’s government, Wike said he informed PDP leadership before he took the ministerial offer of President Tinubu.

The FCT, however, said he has not seen any PDP chieftain that will suspend him from the party.

When asked “Are you afraid that your party might move against you or expel you?”

Wike replied: “Who is the party? Who are the PDP people? How can anybody talk about expelling me? A State that brought a governor, a State that brought three senators, a state that produced 32 members out of 32 House of Assembly and produced 11 out of 13 House of Reps.

“The person that would suspend me is the one that couldn’t produce a governor, is the one that couldn’t produce senators and Assembly?

“Look, I have not seen that person with all due respect. I should be the one calling for their discipline for violating the party’s constitution.”
