FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has warned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against any move to readmit former Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi, insisting such a step would spell doom.
Speaking during a media chat on Monday, Wike Accused Obi of desperation, saying his presidential ambition can even force him to dine with the devil.
“To what? Bringing Obi to where? You want to kill the party? Obi that was abusing the party, saying it is rotten—so the party is now good enough for him? Ambition can make people even go to Satan’s house.
“If you want to destroy this party, dare it—bring Obi. There’s no way he will come back just because of ambition. No more ideology, no longer principle,” Wike bluntly said on the plans to bring back Obi to the PDP by some chieftains of the party.
While maintaining that only equity, justice, and zoning can rescue the PDP from political irrelevance, the former Rivers Governor said arrogance was the greatest of the party.
“It is better now you have stolen the presidential ticket—and again stole the national chairman. I said it will purge you. And it really purged them. I have no regret for it.”
