The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has summoned the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to appear before a disciplinary committee over allegations of anti-party activities. This was disclosed by the PDP's Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Ibrahim Abdullahi, during an interview with Channels TV on Monday.
Abdullahi revealed that the disciplinary committee has sent Wike a letter, inviting him to address his recent comments about the party. The FCT minister's remarks, particularly about "putting fire in their states" in reference to PDP governors, have been deemed unacceptable by the party.
"Wike should be more careful with his words; that was a very disappointing remark. We weren’t expecting him to say that, and we do not support it," Abdullahi stated.
This development comes shortly after Wike expressed satisfaction with his role in President Bola Tinubu's administration, despite the criticism and speculation surrounding his appointment. The FCT minister boldly declared that anyone unhappy with his position in Tinubu's government should "go and hug a transformer."
