I Have No Plans To Quit PDP – Wike

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike has come out to blast Chief Edwin Clark after the elder statesman accused him of trying to destroy PDP.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he really does not know the party Chief Clark belongs to, and he does not understand his complaints since he clearly supported his wish for power to rotate in the country.

Wike added that he has no plans to quit PDP despite the ongoing internal crisis, and he intends to stay and fight.

His words, “Let me say here that I don’t know the party Chief Clark belongs to. Frankly speaking, since I entered the PDP, I have never seen him at any PDP meeting. I don’t like to react to statements like that anytime he talks.

If there is anyone who has contributed to the growth of the PDP as much as I have today, it is me. He was one of those talking about the southern President, and I supported the southern President. So, what is he going to investigate me about? Clark was one of those who said power must rotate. Is that the crime I committed, that I also believed in that?

You see, in leadership, everything is not supposed to be smooth. When I was there, I had my own crisis. Did I blame anybody? No, I faced the crisis squarely. You saw what the Federal Government did to me. Did I accuse any ethnic group? No.

I’ve told you I do not run from any fight. I will stay there, I will fight it out. Who am I going to run from? The vampires? How can you say that? Can I tell you something? Anybody who knows me knows too well, if I want to join APC today; when I was in then PDP, didn’t I say that I will not support your presidential candidate? Did I do it secretly?

All those people who are saying those things, did they bring one member who has won election? Did PDP not win? I stood my ground on principle, that if this is not done, we will not accept it. People should know you for something. Integrity is very important.”

WOW.
