The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has pledged to stay in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Wike stated that he would rather remain in the PDP and fight for change than switch to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He made this declaration during a media briefing to mark his one year in office as FCT Minister on Wednesday.
Wike also vowed to combat the injustices within the party and to ensure that the rights of its members are upheld.
According to the minister: “I will not leave PDP even when the fight at home (Rivers State) and at the national level gets tougher. I will fight to the last. I am not prepared to join the APC. I have said it and I want to repeat it again.
“The work I am doing here was handed over to me by the president. And I am focused on achieving the task before me.
“I will not fold my arms and allow the party I have suffered for over the years to continuously do injustice to members. I will not accept that.”
Wike encountered strong opposition within the PDP, particularly from the party’s former presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and the Governor of Rivers State, Sim Fubara.
Despite this, Bola Tinubu appointed Wike as the FCT Minister.
