PDP Will Collapse If I Defect To APC – Wike

Nyesom Wike

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mr. Nyesom Wike, has said the Peoples Democratic Party would collapse if he were to defect to the All Progressives Congress. He recently had his say during his end-of-year media chat in Port Harcourt, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he remains a member of PDP who has no intention of leaving the party, so Nigerians should not expect that to happen anytime soon.

He added that his political influence in the state remains uncontested amid rumours of Fubara taking over his political structure.

His words, “Today, if I say I want to decamp to APC, that will be the end of PDP. You will see leaders of the party in other states who will join me.

If today I say, gentlemen, look, we have had enough of PDP, watch those who will decamp in Benue; watch those who will decamp in Plateau, in Abia, in Edo.

But the mere fact that people have left PDP for APC does not mean I have to leave. No, it is not correct. I am still a member of PDP.

There are exceptions to the rule. There is nothing like 001 in the state; you register in your ward and not at the state level.

So, if there is 001, it is in your ward, because every party member registers in his ward.”
