- While many observers continue to cast doubts on his loyalty to the PDP and wonder why the party has not expelled him despite his egregious anti-party activities, Wike insists that he remains a staunch and loyal member of the PDP.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, says he would pitch his tent with President Bola Tinubu again if the opportunity arises.
This is even as he said he had no regret for supporting Tinubu in the 2023 general elections.
Before his ministerial appointment, Wike was the governor of Rivers State for eight years under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Tinubu later appointed him into his cabinet to serve as FCT Minister in the All Progressives Congress, APC-led Federal Government.
While many observers continue to cast doubts on his loyalty to the PDP and wonder why the party has not expelled him despite his egregious anti-party activities, Wike has insisted that he remains a staunch and loyal member of the PDP.
While speaking at a thanksgiving service in Ochigba organised by the PDP in Ahoada East and West Local Government Areas of the state, Wike thanked President Tinubu for believing in him.
Wike said that he was threatened before the presidential elections for supporting Tinubu, adding that he would do the same thing if another opportunity comes.
“I have no regrets, I have no apologies. If the opportunity comes I will do the same thing,” he said.
The Minister also denied allegations of land grabbing levelled against him by some residents of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, describing the allegations as laughable.
The Minister stated that those in possession of government land must do the right thing or risk having their plots of land revoked, adding that he was unmoved by the actions and remarks of his detractors.
“I am in charge of lands in Abuja, how will I go and grab what I am in charge of” he said
