FCT minister Nyesom Wike has said he will remain a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) despite being in the APC government of President Bola Tinubu.
The minister stated this during an interview with select journalists on Wednesday to mark his first year in office.
He said: “I will not leave PDP even when the fight at home (Rivers State) and at the national 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 focus 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.”
His statement comes 24 hours after the PDP board of trustees visited Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and assured him of their support.
Fubara, who is at loggerheads with his former boss Wike, also said he does not plan to leave the PDP.
