Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has reaffirmed his commitment to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), quashing speculation of a potential defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Wike’s declaration comes amidst a fierce battle for control of the Rivers state PDP chapter, with the former governor facing opposition from State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and other party leaders, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Despite the challenges, Wike vowed to fight for justice and protect the rights of party members, stating, “I will not leave PDP even when the fight gets tougher. I will fight to the last.”
Wike also clarified that his appointment by President Bola Tinubu was not a precursor to his departure from the PDP, but rather a testament to his conviction in Tinubu’s ability to address the country’s challenges.
The PDP Board of Trustees had earlier declared support for Fubara, amid the ongoing face-off between Wike and his successor.
