Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr. Nyesom Wike, boldly asserted that he has not encountered any party leader who could suspend him from the party.
In an interview with Channels Television, Wike emphasized that governance transcends political party membership, addressing questions about his appointment in an APC-led government. He clarified that he assumed the role of FCT Minister to support President Bola Tinubu’s administration and not as a representative of any political party.
Wike expressed his commitment to the principles of fairness, equity, and justice, emphasizing that his loyalty lies with these principles rather than any particular party.
He stated, “I’m not here to work for a party. I’m here to support the president, who has confidence in me. I owe nobody an apology.”
When questioned about the possibility of the PDP suspending him, Wike questioned whether there was anyone within the party capable of suspending him, emphasizing that such a scenario was unlikely.
He also hinted at his role in advocating for discipline within the party for those who violated its constitution on office rotation.
