The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike has accused stakeholders in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of sending lists of ministerial nominees to President Bola Tinubu.
Wike made the accusation during an appearance on Channels Television on Friday.
He insisted that those fighting him for getting involved with the All Progressives Congress government also tried to curry favour from the president.
He said, “Who in the PDP that didn’t try to nominate names for President Tinubu’s appointments?
“Yes, they did. Let them come forward and say they did not do it.”
Wike had recently threatened to put fire in the State of any PDP Governor that tries to interfere with the faceoff between him and his former protégé, Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State.
Call Me An APC Mole” – Wike Dares PDP Govs, Leaders
Speaking further, Wike dared any PDP governor and leader, to come on national television and call him a mole.
The FCT minister said, “Before I accepted my appointment as Minister, I wrote a letter to the PDP in my state, I wrote a letter to the PDP in my zone; I wrote a letter to the PDP national, who in PDP is saying I’m a mole, name names.
“The problem we have in this country is that some people think they’re smart. What I want to do I will do, what I don’t want to do I will not do.
“I dare any body in PDP, I dare any governor, I dare any National Working Committee member to come on national television to say I’m a mole.
“In 2023, did I not say I won’t support the PDP (Presidential) candidate because it is against equity, it is against fairness? Did I do it at the back?
“Did the PDP not win the governorship? Did the PDP not win the National Assembly? Did PDP not win the state assembly? I challenge any of them in any of this (PDP) states who won 100 percent as we have. How did we do it? Leadership!”
