Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has dared the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to suspend or discipline him.
In an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today program on Wednesday, Wike, who is a PDP member, boldly stated that he is yet to see any PDP leader who will suspend or expel him from the party.
According to him, Governance is not about party and he wants to support President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to finish well.
He said, “Governance is not about party. The 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.”
Responding to the question of whether he was afraid that the PDP could suspend him, Wike said he informed PDP leadership before he took the ministerial offer of President Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) so he dare anybody to suspend him.
“Who will discipline me? I should be the one calling for the discipline of people, who violated the party’s constitution on rotation of offices.
Who will suspend me? I want to dare anybody
“We are just waiting for the presidential panel to finish, you will know who actually are those who are working well for the party.
“How can anybody talk about expelling me? A state that brought a governor? A state that brought three senators? A state that produced 32 House of Assembly members? A state that produced 11 out of 13 House of Representatives.
“The person that would suspend me is the one that couldn’t produce a governor, is the one that couldn’t produce three senators?
“I have not seen that person, with all due respect. Nobody will do it. So, the issue of whether they will do it does not arise.”
