If some people say they are holding NEC without proper notice, I have every right to challenge it. Nobody can deny me that right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"892\" data-end=\"1179\">The former Rivers State governor, a key player in the PDP crisis since the 2022 presidential primary, vowed to resist what he described as \u201cinjustice and impunity.\u201d He revealed that his political allies would be meeting on Wednesday to take a collective decision on how to respond.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1181\" data-end=\"1380\">Wike also insisted that the convention could not proceed unless the party first recognised the outcome of the South-South zonal congress held in Calabar, where his loyalists emerged as leaders.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1382\" data-end=\"1559\">When asked if he planned to hold a parallel convention or head to court, Wike replied, \u201cOur group is meeting tomorrow. Obviously, we will not allow that injustice to prevail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1561\" data-end=\"1763\">On the 2027 elections, the FCT Minister refused to commit to supporting the PDP\u2019s presidential candidate, despite serving in President Bola Tinubu\u2019s All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1765\" data-end=\"2117\">\u201cI will support someone who I believe can grow Nigeria, not out of sentiment or emotion,\u201d he said. Asked if that position amounted to anti-party activity, Wike maintained that patriotism comes first: \u201cBeing a party man does not mean I will support a person who cannot help Nigeria.
