FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike on Friday, September 13, dared any Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governor and leader, to call him a mole on national television.
Wike issued the threat in an interview on a Channels Television Political Programme, Politics Today, in Abuja.
According to him, he boldly stated that he would not support the 2023 presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar and did not go behind the party to make the decision.
The FCT minister said, “Before I accepted my appointment as Minister, I wrote a letter to the PDP in my state, I wrote a letter to the PDP in my zone; I wrote a letter to the PDP national, who in PDP is saying I’m a mole, name names.
“The problem we have in this country is that some people think they’re smart. What I want to do I will do, what I don’t want to do I will not do.
“I dare any body in PDP, I dare any governor, I dare any National Working Committee member to come on national television to say I’m a mole.
“In 2023, did I not say I won’t support the PDP (Presidential) candidate because it is against equity, it is against fairness? Did I do it at the back?
“Did the PDP not win the governorship? Did the PDP not win the National Assembly? Did PDP not win the state assembly? I challenge any of them in any of this (PDP) states who won 100 percent as we have. How did we do it? Leadership!”
He described himself as a man of his words.
