FCT Minister Nyesom Wike finally reveals political party he belongs to after Tinubu's appointment

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike has revealed the political party he belongs to despite being appointed by President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress.

According to Wike, he continues to be a card bearing member of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The FCT Minister noted that he is an advocate of the rule of law and his non-support of the party in the 2023 presidential election was the right step and thus moves for his suspension are unwarranted.

Wike said;

“I am a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Have you ever seen me change anything?

“The one I supported before, what happened? I have decided to take a break. As you see me now, everybody should carry their cross. I was in the PDP and I did not hide it: I told them I was not going to support their presidential candidate. Is it that I spoke or acted in a way people did not understand?

“Discipline me for what? That I did what? I am an advocate of the party’s constitution. Assuming we lost the governorship, will they be talking about Rivers as a PDP state?”

“Now is the time for governance. Now is the time to do your assignment. The president has given me an assignment and I am busy carrying out my assignment. When the time for politics comes, we would know who is where and who is not where.”
