The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has declared that he is still a card carrying member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The minister spoke while interacting with newsmen after inspecting the Interchange bridge and road linking Gwarinpa with Jahi and direct to Katampe, Gishiri and Maitama.
Wike’s comment followed the announcement of his expulsion from the party by the faction led by National Chairman, Kabiru Turaki.
Recall that 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.
Turaki stated that their expulsion from the party was aimed at bringing sanity to the party ahead the 2027 elections.
But reacting to the development on Friday, Wike dismissed the claim, assuring that he would continue to work with other party members in making PDP a viable opposition party.
