The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has firmly stated that he has no intention of leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Speaking during a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, the former governor of Rivers state declared that he is ready to stay within the party and confront the challenges, referring to his adversaries as “vampires.”
Wike made it clear that he does not plan to join the All Progressives Congress (APC), emphasizing that he conducts his actions openly. He expressed his determination to remain in the PDP and fight for what he believes in.
“I don’t back down from any fight. I will stay in the PDP and face whatever comes. Who do I have to run from? The vampires?” Wike stated.
He further added, “Anyone who knows me knows that if I wanted to join the APC, I would do it openly. When I was in the PDP, I openly said I wouldn’t support their presidential candidate, and I stood by that.”
Wike also criticized those who question his loyalty, suggesting that they lack the integrity he values. “People should be known for something. Integrity is crucial. Those who are talking are just scared of my presence,” he concluded.
