The Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, is alleged to have made allegations regarding the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to which the PDP has promised to respond shortly.
Wike, who was recently appointed as the FCT Minister by President Bola Tinubu, had claimed that the party could not punish him due to his acceptance of a position in the Federal Government, which is governed by the All Progressives Congress.
The former governor of River State asserted that he was invited to accept Tinubu’s nomination by party leadership at various levels.

The Minister stated he had not yet met the person who would kick him out of the party during a recent interview on Politics Today on Channels Television.
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 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.”
Asked if he wasn’t concerned about possible suspension, Wike responded, saying, “How can anybody talk about expelling me? With all due respect, I have not seen that person. Nobody will do it. So the issue that they will do it does not arise

“Who will discipline me? I should be the one calling for the discipline of people who violated the party’s constitution on rotation,” he added.
In response, Debo Ologunagba, the PDP spokesman, told Newsmen over the phone that the party will soon address the problems.
He said, “As a party, we will address the issue very soon. We heard what was said, and we are taking our time to react. I can assure you that as soon as we are ready, we will make our response public.”
