I dare anyone in PDP to suspend me — Wike

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, boasted that he is yet to see the party chieftain who will suspend him from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The former governor of Rivers State stated that governance is not about membership of a political party.

Wike bragged that no one in the PDP can discipline him, rather, he should be the one to discipline those who violated the party’s constitution on rotation.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory said these in an interview with Channels Television on Wednesday.

His words: “Governance is not about party. Party is a vehicle that conveys you. I’m a PDP member — unrepentant.

“I never hid my intention. As a PDP member, I came out to support fairness, equity, and justice.

“I feel at home working for the government of President Tinubu. He is a man, who means well for the country. 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 asked if he was afraid that the PDP could suspend him, Wike queried whether there was anyone in the party, who could suspend him.

“How can anybody talk about expelling me? With all due respect, I have not seen that person. Nobody will do it. So, the issue that they will do it does not arise.

How can anybody talk about expelling me? A state that provided the Governor? A State that brought three Senators? A State that produced 32 Assembly members? A State that produced 11 out of 13 House of Reps.

The person that wants to suspend me is the one that couldn’t produce a Governor or three Senators or Assembly. I’ve not seen that person that will suspend me in PDP. Nobody will do it.

Who will discipline me? I should be the one calling for discipline for those who violated the party’s constitution on rotation of offices. I want to dare anyone who will say I should be suspended. I’m a man of character.”
