Defiant Wike dares PDP, says ‘nobody can expel me’

Former Rivers State Governor and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, says no one in his party, the Peoples Democratic Party can suspend or expel him.

Speaking during a television interview on Wednesday, Wike dared anyone to expel him.

Speaking on the possibility of getting expelled from the PDP for anti-party activities, Wike dared those contemplating the move saying, “Nobody can expel me.”

Wike stated this Wednesday evening when he featured on Channels Television’s programme, “Politics Today.”

The FCT minister stressed that he had yet to see any leader in the PDP who had the authority to expel him from the party.

“The person who will suspend me is when I couldn’t produce a governor, three senators, Assembly members. I have not seen that person. Nobody will do it,” Wike said.

“Who will discipline me? I should be the one calling for the discipline of these people who violated the party constitution,” the minister added.

He continued, “The way that the party said there must be rotation and you violated the constitution of the party. Who dares say that they will suspend me? Who is that person? I want to dare anybody who will say that.”

He also said he was working for President Bola Tinubu and not the All Progressives Congress, stressing that he owed nobody any apology.

“I am not working for the APC. I am working for Tinubu who has trust in me to help him deliver the Renewed Hope,” adding, “I owe nobody any apology at all. I was in the PDP and I worked for Ahmed Bola Tinubu to become the President of Nigeria.”
