In a bold move, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike has drawn a line in the sand, reaffirming his unwavering commitment to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) amidst swirling rumors of a potential defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC). This declaration comes as Wike finds himself in the eye of a brewing storm, battling for control of the Rivers state PDP chapter.
In a surprising twist, Wike’s appointment as FCT Minister was made by none other than President Bola Tinubu of the APC last year, fueling speculation about his loyalty. However, Wike has chosen to stand firm, vowing to fight for justice and protect the rights of PDP members, even in the face of opposition from powerful party leaders, including Governor Siminalayi Fubara and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Speaking to journalists in Abuja, Wike’s resolve was palpable, his determination to correct the perceived injustices within the party evident. This comes on the heels of the PDP Board of Trustees’ endorsement of Fubara, further intensifying the rift between Wike and his successor. As the battle for control of the Rivers state PDP chapter rages on, one thing is clear: Nyesom Wike is digging in, refusing to back down in his quest for party reform and accountability.”
