Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), will be removed from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), according to Daniel Bwala, a former spokesperson for the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Council in the 2023 presidential election.
A day after Wike, a former governor of Rivers State, dared the PDP leadership to expel him from the party for endorsing the election of President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and subsequently serving in his cabinet as a minister, Bwala appeared on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Thursday night.
We don’t often respond to what Wike says because, as everyone is aware, he enjoys drama, Bwala added.
“The party’s silence is not a sign of weakness…The party is skilled at what it does. He (Wike) would be ejected as well as suspended when the time came. Put that to the test.
Although Wike has the ability to build the FCT, the PDP leader claimed that he is a “glorified commissioner” who should not assume control of a state on his own.
Wike has proven to be the most effective of the President’s 45 ministers, according to Bwala, but the FCT minister is cautioned not to go on a vengeance mission against rivals in the capital by threatening to destroy their buildings.
The PDP leader said that the minister cannot terrorise FCT citizens by threatening to tear down buildings outside the boundaries of Abuja’s original Master Plan.
The Aso Rock and several military barracks, according to the lawyer, were not initially included in the FCT Master Plan, and the minister should dismantle those structures before “terrorising” Abuja civilians with demolition threats, the lawyer argued.
