Reports circulating had suggested that Wike, a former presidential aspirant within the main opposition party, had switched allegiance to the APC.

These rumors gained momentum following Wike’s appointment by President Bola Tinubu to serve in the APC government as the FCT Minister.

Putting an end to the conjecture, Debo Ologunagba, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, affirmed on Monday that Wike remains a steadfast member of the party, emphasizing that the minister has not tendered his resignation.

When questioned about the reluctance of the party to suspend the former governor, the PDP spokesperson clarified in an interview with Channels TV, stating, “the answer in one word is no. Nobody is afraid of Wike.”

He further elaborated, “Membership of a political party is personal. Nyesom Wike has not resigned from PDP to the best of my knowledge.

“Wike has been a valuable member of this party. We encountered challenges before the general elections, which are typical in politics.

“But that doesn’t imply that he is not a member of the party because he has not resigned. Based on the records available to me, Wike is still a member of the party.

“What’s more crucial is the party’s ability to reconcile itself. We are confident in our capacity as a party to reconcile and unite everyone who has felt aggrieved in one way or another due to the state of affairs in the country.

“We need a party like PDP to contribute to stabilizing Nigeria. The APC has faltered. They lack vision and direction.”
