In a recent media chat, Nyesom Wike, Nigeria’s Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), addressed the ongoing challenges within the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and responded to criticisms from fellow party members…READ…FULL…STORIES
Wike spoke candidly about the internal issues plaguing the party, particularly the perceived lack of integrity among some high-ranking politicians.
He expressed his frustration with the common excuse that broken promises and dishonesty are simply part of politics, arguing that this mindset is detrimental to the party’s success and unity.
Wike highlighted the tendency of some PDP members to use internal conflicts as a scapegoat for the party’s recent electoral losses, such as in Edo State, and concerns about upcoming elections in Ondo State.
Critics have suggested that Wike’s disputes with other top PDP figures are weakening the party’s structure and harming its electoral prospects. However, Wike dismissed these accusations, asserting that his commitment to the PDP remains strong despite the internal strife.
He argued that the real issue lies with party members who are more focused on undermining him rather than working together to strengthen the party.
In a defiant statement, Wike declared, “The Wike you are seeing will not go down; rather, you’re the one that will go down.” This remark was directed at those within the PDP who, he believes, are plotting his political downfall instead of concentrating on the party’s growth and unity.
Wike emphasized that his dedication to the party has been unwavering, even during challenging times when external interference from the federal government threatened the PDP’s cohesion.
Reflecting on his tenure as governor of Rivers State, Wike noted that he consistently supported the party, providing both financial and strategic backing to ensure its stability.
He criticized the current leadership of the PDP for its lack of adequate funding and commitment, which he sees as significant contributors to the party’s struggles.
Wike’s message was clear: he is determined to stand firm and continue his active involvement in the PDP. He called on his fellow party members to shift their focus from internal power struggles and personal vendettas to rebuilding the party’s foundation based on honesty, integrity, and a shared vision for success.
Wike urged the leadership and members of the PDP to prioritize unity and collaboration, insisting that only through collective effort can the party regain its strength and achieve a brighter political future.. Full Video
