The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has described the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike as one of the most devoted and loyal party member ever.
The PDP Deputy National Chairman (South), Taofeek Arapaja, spoke at a book launch in honour of Wike.
He emphasized that despite internal party challenges, including members with an “entitlement mentality,” Wike continues to earn admiration and respect.
He said: “Our mentor and principal, who has never left the PDP for a day, is one of the most committed and loyal party leaders we have ever had. He has done well, he is doing well, and we wish him well in all his future endeavours.”
Arapaja praised Wike’s steadfast advocacy for equity, justice, and fairness, highlighting his leadership role in the G5 group and his consistent support for fellow party members.
He contrasted this with some leaders who only engaged with the party when seeking help, affirming Wike’s integrity and dedication.
“We know you, and we always love and appreciate you. Some people believe in entitlement mentality, but we will always stand by you because you are a man of integrity, honour, and a performer,” Arapaja remarked.
The PDP official also responded to recent criticisms made by Senate President Godswill Akpabio about the party.
Arapaja expressed disappointment in Akpabio’s negative remarks, pointing out that the Senate President, who was previously Governor of Akwa Ibom State under the PDP, owes much of his political career to the party.
“The foundation of all political parties is the PDP. I am surprised when someone who is a product of the PDP speaks negatively about it,” he said.
Arapaja further acknowledged Akpabio’s performance as governor under the PDP, noting, “nobody can dispute the fact that the present Senate President performed during his tenure as governor under the PDP.”
