Wike: No one can expel me from PDP, I’ll ensure Tinubu wins 2027 presidential election

FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared that no one can expel him from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Wike declared this during a media parley in Abuja on Monday, June 2, 2025.

There have been calls for the minister’s expulsion from the PDP over alleged anti-party activities.

The former governor of Rivers State was also accused of contributing to the leadership crisis rocking the PDP.

Reacting, Wike declared that no one has the power to annul his membership in the PDP.

Wike said: “I am still in PDP. I worked hard for the party. I have not seen anybody who will have the guts to tell me, Wike, you are not a member of the party. Who is that? What is his contribution to the party that is more than me?”

Wike slams Amaechi: You’re hungry for power, not food

The minister also lashed out at former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, over the latter’s plans to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.

He added: “Let’s see how he (Amaechi) plans to remove the president. Is it a military coup? The term ‘removal’ is synonymous with dictatorship or military coup.

“Nigerians remember what happened in 2015, and now he claims Nigerians are hungry.

“I am not a liability; I am an asset. You may dislike me, but I am an asset in ensuring President Tinubu wins a second term.”
