Former Rivers State Governor and now Minister of Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has vowed never to leave the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Wike expressed his preference to stay in the PDP and fight than defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
He disclosed this on Wednesday during a media parley which marked his first year as the FCT minister. He promised to fight to correct the injustices in the party and ensure the protection of the rights of the members.
He said: “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”, he continued.
“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 strong opposition in the PDP from the party’s former presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and his successor, Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State.
President Bola Tinubu appointed Nyesom Wike as FCT minister, despite being in the opposition.
