Speaking on Friday night, on Channels Television's 'Politics Today', monitored by Legit.ng, Wike explained that he cannot be booted out of the PDP.
He said:
“There is no governor in PDP today; not anybody born of a woman, can say I am an outsider. Who?”
Continuing, the FCT minister said:
“Some of us have name to maintain. Before I took this appointment, I wrote to PDP. I wrote to PDP national, I wrote to PDP zonal, and I wrote to PDP in my state. My governor (Fubara) also signed the letter, giving me the go ahead to take the appointment.”
Furthermore, Wike alleged that several chieftains of the PDP sent names to President Bola Tinubu for appointment under the All Progressives Congress (APC) government.
He dared any PDP governor or national working committee (NWC) member of the party to come out publicly to accuse him of being a mole.
