Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has stated that his decision to remain in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has become a source of discomfort for Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde.

Wike made the remarks during a media interaction in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where he firmly ruled out any immediate plans to defect from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

While reiterating his loyalty to the PDP, the former Rivers State governor claimed that his political influence extends beyond his home state. He asserted that several prominent PDP figures across Benue, Plateau, Abia, and Edo states would follow his lead should he ever decide to switch parties.

According to Wike, a single declaration from him would trigger widespread defections, effectively ending speculation about his political direction.

He emphasized that holding political office does not automatically translate to exclusive leadership within a party, noting that influence is not limited to elected positions such as council chairmanships, legislative seats, or parliamentary roles.

Wike maintained that his continued presence within the PDP is deliberate, adding that this reality appears to unsettle certain party leaders, including Governor Makinde.
