The opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has summoned the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to appear before the PDP disciplinary committee over alleged anti-party activities.
This was revealed on Monday September 2 by the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Ibrahim Abdullahi, who disclosed in an interview with Channels TV.
Abdullahi who stated that Wike’s statement about “putting fire in their states” in reference to PDP governors is unacceptable adding that the former governor of Rivers state ”should be able to manage his words carefully; that was a very disappointing remark. We weren’t expecting him to say that, and we are not with him on that to be honest with you.”
The position of the PDP was made known hours after Wike affirmed his decision in serving under President Bola Tinubu, despite the criticisms and speculations surrounding his appointment.
The FCT Minister declared that anyone who is angry with his position in Tinubu’s government should go and hug the transformer.
Wike, a longstanding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and the only opposition member in Tinubu’s cabinet, addressed the issue during the PDP Congress in Rivers State.
