Wike: Nobody Can Suspend Me From PDP
…. If Obi Was Better, Nigerians Would Have Voted Him
By Aremu Sosanya
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has dared the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to suspend him from the party.
He said with his record in “producing” governor and senators on the platform of the party, no one could suspend him
The former Rivers State governor spoke on Wednesday on Channels Television, adding that he was only working for President Bola Tinubu, and not the All Progressives Congress.
“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
“I am not working for APC. I am working for Tinubu who have trust in me to help him deliver the renewed hope agenda,” he said.
If Obi Was Better, Nigerians Would Have Voted Him – Wike.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, said if the flag bearer of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, was a better candidate, Nigerians would have voted him in the February 25, 2023 poll.
Wike spoke exclusively on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Wednesday.
The ex-governor of Rivers State said he supported the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the expense of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the standard bearer of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the keenly contested poll.
When asked whether Obi would have handled the major issues confronting the Nigerian economy better than Tinubu if he had been elected, Wike said he doesn’t discuss presidential candidates any longer.
“I don’t want to discuss social media issue,” the FCT minister said. “I don’t discuss about presidential candidate any longer; I discuss about the economy, the President, what he has to offer.”
“If he (Obi) would have been better, Nigerians would have voted for him.”
Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, came third in the election won by APC’s Tinubu. The LP candidate and his PDP counterpart are in court to challenge the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declaring Tinubu as winner of the poll.
