I Dare PDP Govs To Call Me A Mole – Wike

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has dared any governor or leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to come on national television and call him a mole.

He said this late Friday in an interview on a Channels Television Political Programme, Politics Today, in Abuja.

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 anybody 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 these (PDP) states who won 100 per cent as we have. How did we do it? Leadership!”

He described himself as a man of his word. He revealed that Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, approached him to seek support for his preferred successor, Dr. Asue Ighodalo, but he told him to his face he would not because his support for Obaseki in the past earned him nothing but unending insults.

While admitting that the Edo State Resident Electoral Commissioner, is his first cousin, Wike said, just like him, “Nobody can intimidate my cousin, not even the INEC Chairman. Nobody born of a woman can intimidate my cousin into doing what is is not right.”

He noted that the Edo REC was posted to the state over one year ago, he wondered why those claiming to be the PDP at all levels
were raising the issue now.
