Former Governor of Rivers State and Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has called on the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to suspend the Presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar.
To be suspended alongside former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, according to Wike, are the former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido and former Governor of Sokoto State, Senator Aminu Tambuwal.
Wike, who fought against the PDP Presidential ticket in the February 25 election with members of the G-5 Governors, said in an interview on Channels Television that he and his group should be congratulated for fighting for justice, equity and fairness within the party.
He said: “I’m calling on the National Working Committee of the party to, as a matter of urgency, suspend the presidential candidate of the party, suspend Aminu Tambuwal, suspend Sule Lamido.”
Asked why he thinks he shouldn’t be suspended too, Wike added: “They know I didn’t do anything wrong. They should be congratulating us for fighting for equity, fairness and justice.”
When asked if he was not fighting against the will of the party, Wike added that the party was fighting against Nigerians.
“Is the party not against Nigerians? Who is superior? Is the party superior to Nigerians? “There is a Constitution. But because you think you have the power, you don’t want to follow the Constitution.
“They think they can do anything without anybody which they know is not possible. You can’t succeed,” he further stated.
