Barrister Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory has said he will stand and fight for his principles, amidst the ongoing political squabbles rocking the Peoples Democratic Party.
He said this during a media parley held on Wednesday to mark his first anniversary as the FCT minister.
Wike said he is dedicated to the PDP, despite facing opposition from State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and other party leaders, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
According to Wike, he will fight to correct the injustices within the party and ensure that the rights of members are protected.
He said, “I will not leave PDP even when the fight at home (Rivers state) and at the national 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 again. The work I am doing here was handed over to me by the president. And I am focus 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.”
Wike’s reaction comes a day after the PDP Board of Trustees declared support for Fubara, amid the ongoing face-off between him and his successor, Fubara.
