I’m still in PDP – Wike replies Turaki, dismisses expulsion

 Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike,
on Friday, declared that he’s still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP.

 

Wike’s comment followed his expulsion from the party by the
faction led by National Chairman, Kabiru Turaki.

 

Turaki had formally dispatched expulsion certificates to 11
prominent party chieftains, including Wike, former Ekiti State governor,
Ayodele Fayose, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, Umaru Bature, Kamarudeen Ajibade, SAN,
Abdurahman Muhammad, Senator Mao Ohuabunwa.

 

He said their expulsion was aimed at sanitising the party
ahead of the 2027 elections.

 

Reacting to the development on Friday, Wike dismissed the
claim while assuring that he would continue to work with other party members in
making the PDP a relevant opposition party.

 

The minister spoke while addressing journalists after
inspecting the Interchange bridge and road linking Gwarinpa with Jahi and
directly to Katampe, Gishiri, and Maitama.

 

He said, “Those that are factionalized are bound to leave
the party. I’m still in PDP, and you can see that not everybody has left.

 

“We still have good numbers, and we will continue to work
together, and that’s what I have said to the party. Put your house in order
because at the end of the day, if you don’t put your house in order, it’s the
party that is losing.

 

“So those who are worried, we can work together to see how
the party can remain a relevant opposition.”
