The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has slammed a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, over his recent attack against him.

In a chat with journalists, Wike urged George to retire to his house and rely on reading newspapers if he has nothing doing.

Wike said this after George reminded him that he was made popular by the same PDP he's troubling today.

The minister responded, "How can he (Olabode George) say so? If an old man has no job, sit in your house and read newspapers. Bode George said PDP made me, PDP gave me national name, I agree. Party cannot make you, you are the one that will make the party popular to win election. Party cannot say oh, we are very popular, it is you individuals that will make the party popular.

"Look at this way, I agree PDP made me, ask Bode George who did PDP male in Lagos? If it's the Party that makes (individuals), who did PDP make in Lagos since 1999? Not one Assembly, not House of Reps, not Senate, not anything, not anything and you are talking to me who has laboured, campaigned and worked for the party to be the major party in the State and at National level, meanwhile in your own state."
