Wike kicks against ‘expulsion’ from PDP
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared that no one has the authority to remove him from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
He emphasized that he has been part of the party since its formation and has played a major role in its development.

Wike made this known during a weekend meeting with the party’s Board of Trustees and National Executive Council, led by Acting National Chairman Abdulrahman Mohammed.
Wike’s PDP expulsion
His remarks were in response to an expulsion notice issued by a faction aligned with Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde.
He insisted that he would not allow individuals who joined the PDP long after he did to destroy the party.
“How can those who met me in my house now drag me out? I will never allow it. Ask Bala Mohammed which party he ran under as a senator, because our party has always thought that people who come in can become governors and senators. They now think they can pursue those who have made sacrifices for the party from its inception and formation. If people have allowed them before, we will not allow them” he said
Wike charges stakeholders
The minister urged party stakeholders to remain resolute, adding that those working against the party’s interest would soon exit on their own.
The meeting was attended by former Abia State governor Okezie Ikpeazu, former deputy speaker Uche Nwuche, PDP Acting National Chairman Abdulrahman Mohammed, National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu, and Board of Trustees members from across the states and the FCT.
