I am Untouchable
OpenLife Nigeria reports that the newly appointed Minister of Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Barrister Nyesom Wike has described himself untouchable by any political leader.
Speaking on Wednesday, Wike said nobody can suspend him from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for taking ministerial appointment in the President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The FCT minister also noted that he is working for President Tinubu and not the All Progressives Congress.
“I am not working for APC. I am working for Tinubu who have trust in me to help him deliver the renewed hope,” Wike said when he featured on Channels TV Politics Today.
He added, “I owe nobody any apology at all. I was in PDP and I worked for Ahmed Bola Tinubu to become the President of Nigeria.”
Controversy surrounded Wike’s reported APC membership after his name featured in the ruling party’s campaign council for the governorship elections in Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi states on November 11.
This followed the denial, on Tuesday night, by the party of releasing the controversial documents containing notable names of chairmen, co-chairmen and members of the campaign councils for the governorship elections that went viral in the media and online platforms.
But speaking on Wednesday night, the minister insisted that he is still a member of the main opposition party.
He, however, said he owes nobody an apology for supporting Tinubu during the February 25 presidential election.
Asked if he is afraid if his party would take disciplinary actions against him, the former Rivers State governor responded: “Who is the party? Who are they?
“With all due respect, I have not seen that person who will suspend me. Nobody will do it. Who will discipline me? I should be the one calling for the discipline of these people who violated the party’s constitution. Who dare say they will suspend me? Who is the person?”
