Wike Dares PDP Over Suspension Plots

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Chief Nyesom Wike, has challenged his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), daring them to take action against him through suspension or disciplinary measures.

Speaking in an exclusive interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today program on Wednesday, Wike asserted that he has yet to encounter a party leader who possesses the authority to suspend or expel him from the PDP.

“The person who will suspend me is when I couldn’t produce a governor, three senators, Assembly members. I have not seen that person. Nobody will do it”.

Wike earlier clarified that he is working for President Bola Tinubu and not the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“I am not working for APC. I am working for Tinubu who have trust in me to help him deliver the renewed hope agenda,” he said.
