The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has vowed to remain in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Wike said he prefers to stay in the PDP and fight than
defect to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
He spoke at a media parley to mark his one year in office as
FCT Minister on Wednesday.
He vowed to fight to correct the injustices within the party
and ensure that the rights of members are protected.
According to the minister: “I will not leave PDP even when
the fight at home (Rivers State) and at the national level gets tougher. I will
fight to the last. I am not prepared to join the APC. I have said it and I want
to repeat it again.
“The work I am doing here was handed over to me by the
president. And I am focused on achieving the task before me.
“I will not fold my arms and allow the party I have suffered
for over the years to continuously do injustice to members. I will not accept that.”
Wike had ensured stiff opposition in the PDP from the
party’s former presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and Governor Sim Fubara
of Rivers State.
Amid the opposition, President Bola Tinubu had appointed
Wike as the FCT Minister.
