I cant run from the vampires, Wike vows to remain in PDP

Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has declared his intention to remain with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) despite the ongoing internal crisis.

Speaking at a media event on Wednesday to mark his one-year anniversary as minister, Wike stated, “I don’t run away from any fight. I will stay and fight it out.

Who am I going to run from? The vampires? I cannot do that!”

His comments come amid growing speculation about a potential departure from the PDP, fueled by internal conflicts and targeted criticisms.

This follows a recent call from Chief Edwin Clark, a former Federal Commissioner for Information, urging PDP National Chairman Iliya Damagun to expel Wike from the party.

Clark accused Wike of using his influence with President Bola Tinubu to intimidate Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and disrupt the PDP.

When questioned about his loyalty to the PDP, Wike firmly replied, “Anyone who knows me knows if I wanted to join the APC, I would do it openly. I’ve never hidden my stance, and I won’t start now. Integrity is very important.”

Wike underscored his dedication to his principles, noting that the PDP’s success in Rivers State was due to his steadfastness.

“People must know you for something,” he said, dismissing his critics as being fearful of his influence.
