The report that the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike is on his way to join the All Progressives Congress, APC, has obtained his reaction.
Remember that Wike, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is a minister in APC led-goverment, and had a hands in the emergence of the then presidential candidate of the ruling party, Bola Tinubu.
The crisis rocking the PDP at the national level and Rivers State where he is at war with his successor, Gov. Siminalayi Fubara, is also attributed to him.
Latest speculation that the ex-governor is on the brink of defecting to the APC has drawn his denial.
“I don’t run away from any fight. I will stay there; I will fight it out. Who am I going to run from? The vampires? I cannot do that.
“I will not leave PDP, even when the fight at home (Rivers State) and at the national level gets tougher. I will fight to the last. I am not prepared to join the APC. I have said it and I want to repeat it. The work I am doing here was handed over to me by the president. And I am focused on achieving the task before me.
“I will not fold my arms and allow the party I have suffered for over the years to continuously do injustice to members. I will not accept that,” the minister said at a media parley held in his office.
