Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nyesom Wike, has vowed to fight on within the Peoples Democratic Party and not leave.
Wike made his stands known during a media parley held on Wednesday to mark his first anniversary as the FCT minister.
He said: “I don’t run away from any fight. I will stay there, I will fight it out. Who am I going to run from? The vampires? I cannot do that!”
“Anybody who knows me knows too well if I want to join APC today… when I was then PDP and I said ‘look, I will not support your presidential candidate’, Did I say it secretly? Or those people that are saying those things did they bring one member that won the election?”
“Did PDP not win (in Rivers State)? I stood my ground in terms of the principle that if this is not done we will not accept it. People must know you for something. Integrity is very important. Forget about those that are saying this, they are afraid of my face”, he added.
Recall that, Foremost Ijaw national leader, Chief Edwin Clark, Tuesday wrote another letter to the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), demanding a thorough investigation into the alleged anti-party activities of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, over the political crisis rocking Rivers State.
Clark, a former minister of information in the defunct First Republic, advised in his third letter to the PDP that if found guilty, Wike should be expelled from the party.
He warned that the PDP was on the verge of extinction if the FCT minister remains in the party despite his anti-party activitie
