Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and former Governor of Rivers State, has reaffirmed his commitment to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stating unequivocally that he has no plans to leave the party.
During a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday, Wike declared his readiness to confront the challenges within the PDP, referring to his adversaries as “vampires” and emphasizing his determination to stay and fight for what he believes in.
Wike dismissed speculation about joining the All Progressives Congress (APC), stating that he conducts his actions openly and would not secretly switch parties. He emphasized his loyalty to the PDP and his willingness to face any challenges that come his way.
“I don’t back down from any fight. I will stay in the PDP and face whatever comes. Who do I have to run from? The vampires?” Wike stated, underscoring his resolve to remain in the party.
Wike also highlighted his past actions as evidence of his integrity, recalling how he openly refused to support the PDP’s presidential candidate. He emphasized that if he wanted to join the APC, he would do so openly.
Wike criticized those who question his loyalty, suggesting that they lack the integrity he values. “People should be known for something. Integrity is crucial. Those who are talking are just scared of my presence,” he concluded, asserting his commitment to staying in the PDP.
