I’m not scared of anybody in PDP – FCT Minister Wike clears air on joining APC
The Minster of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike has claimed that he is not afraid of defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) if he wants to.
He stated this while explaining rreasons for not supporting the candidacy of the former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar during the 2023 presidential election.
According to him, equity and fairness were found wanting in the PDO, which was why he didn’t support Atiku.
He also added that he had no conversation with the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu prior to the polls on joining the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC).
He said: “Now at my level,I came out in this country, and I said I was not going to support your presidency (Atiku’s presidency )because, you’re not fair, there’s no justice,no equity as far as PDP was concerned .
“I didn’t hide it, I’m not like them,to come out in the day and say a different thing,I come out in the night I say a different thing,No.
” Nigerians know me, I’ll say something I’ll do, and I’ll do, what I will not do, I will not do.
“I came out and I said I was not going to support this, and I have no regrets about it.
“The President knows I never spoke with the President any day, and say look,”I’ll go to APC,I never told anybody that, and nobody should think that I’m afraid that if I want to join APC, I cannot join APC.
“Who’s that person that I’ll be afraid of who? Who is that person in PDP?”
