The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has maintained that he is still a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Wike, the immediate past governor of oil-rich Rivers state, made the statement during a media parley with selected journalists in Abuja on Friday.

His words: “I am a member of the PDP. ”Have you ever seen me change anything?


“The one I supported before, what happened? I have decided to take a break. As you see me now, everybody should carry their cross.

“I was in PDP, and I did not hide it: ’ told them I was not going to support their presidential candidate. Is it that I spoke or acted in a way people did not understand?”


Responding to a question on if he is not worried about being disciplined by the party, Wike said:

“Discipline me for what? That I did what? I am an advocate of the party’s constitution. Assuming we lost the governorship, will they be talking about Rivers as a PDP state?



“Now is the time for governance. Now is the time” to do your assignment “nt. The president has given me an assignment and I am busy carrying out my assignment.

“When the time for politics comes, we will know who is where and who is not where.”

Recall that Wike fell out with the PDP hierarchy in the run-up to the 2023 presidential election.

He had insisted the party maintain its internal power-sharing formula by zoning the presidential ticket to southern Nigeria.

While he backed out from supporting Atiku Abubakar – from northern Nigeria – who won the PDP primary election, the former governor worked for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), leading to the emergence of President Bola Tinubu.

Tinubu later appointed him as a minister, a move that triggered debates on whether Wike was still a member of the PDP.

Take a break from what? From the party or politics? From taking a break to abandoning the party, I guess. It's the first stage of AWOL

Wike Atiku menace

My idol. I admire him for his bravery

Wike rigged Rivers State election results for the APC and went scot-free because in Nigeria anything goes. iRev shows a result totally different from what was announced.

I'll start taking this country seriously the day the legislators enact laws to sentence election riggers to death. Until then, Nigeria remains a failed British experiment.

Take a break, you have achieved your destruction of the party.

The only man bigger than PDP. Ordinary suspension PDP couldn't give Wike talk more of expulsion.

Atiku ruined PDP with his desperation. No one should bother Wike.

🤡

Wike the cruise man.....

2face man

Dey play.

Absolutely spot on.

Everyone in PDP was desperate except Wike.

Only Wike was humble and did not agitate for anything.

Break from what?

RIGGING

Smh

dis man think say im wise pass everybody

Atiku the Dubai tourist, not Wike, is the real problem of PDP.

You took Mr Obi's vote and gave it to APC and you expect to have peace of mind? You ruined the future of the people you claimed to love by changing their choice and rights during a crucial election for your selfish gains and you expect to be happy? Keep playing! Your end is near.

Wike is deceiving himself
