Nyesom Wike, the minister for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has dared the PDP leadership to suspend or penalise him.
The party leader who will suspend or remove Wike from the party has not been seen, according to Wike, who spoke exclusively on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Wednesday.
“Who will correct me? Since the party encouraged rotation, I ought to be the one demanding that these people who disobeyed the party’s rules be punished.
He informed PDP leadership before he took the ministerial offer of President Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Wike, the former governor of Rivers State said he remained a PDP chieftain despite working for the APC government. “I want to support Asiwaju (Tinubu) to finish well,” he said.
The PDP powerbroker and member of the G5 group within the main opposition party said he owed no one an apology for supporting power shift to southern Nigeria.
Wike said, “We are just waiting for the presidential panel to finish, you will know who actually are those who are working well for the party.
“How can anybody talk about expelling me? A state that brought a governor? A state that brought three senators? A state that produced 32 House of Assembly members? A state that produced 11 out of 13 House of Representatives.
“The person that would suspend me is the one that couldn’t produce a governor, is the one that couldn’t produce three senators?
“I have not seen that person, with all due respect. Nobody will do it. So, the issue of they will do it does not arise.”
