The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, says no one can expel him from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He maintains he has been a member of the party from its inception and has contributed meaningfully to its growth. Wike stated this at a meeting with members of the Board of Trustees and the National Executive Council of the party over the weekend which has Abdulrahman Mohammed as its Acting National Chairman, while reacting to an expulsion notice issued by a faction loyal to the Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, and that of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde. He stated that he would not allow those who met him in the PDP to k!ll the party. How can those who met me in my house now drag me out? I will never allow it. Ask Bala Mohammed which party he ran under as a senator, because our party has always thought that people who come in can become governors and senators. They now think they can pursue those who have made sacrifices for the party from its inception and formation. If people have allowed them before, we will not allow them'' he said The minister charged the stakeholders to remain firm and strong, while asserting that those who did not mean well for the party were on their way out. In attendance at the meeting were former Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu; former deputy speaker, Uche Nwuche; the PDP Acting National Chairman, Abdulrahman Mohammed; the National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu; BoT members from states of the federation and the FCT.
