Former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, has cautioned the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against the suspension of Nyesom Wike, who currently serves as the Minister of FCT.
In a recent interview with Channels TV on Thursday, Daniel Bwala, an aide to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, indicated that the party intends to expel Nyesom Wike at the ‘appropriate time,’ following Wike’s audacious dare for the party to go ahead with the suspension.
While featured on Channels TV Hard Copy, Fayose put forward his standpoint, advising that the PDP should reconsider the idea of suspending Wike.
He said, ‘Some people say fight Wike, expel Wike, sack Wike. I think they do that at their own peril.

‘You see, the first thing in your family, even when you have extreme situations or indifferences, is not to drive away your wife or husband. Wike is a force in the PDP and beyond the PDP, a force you cannot ignore.’
‘Ignore Wike, sack Wike, or fight Wike at your own peril. He is a man of capacity.’
Fayose additionally implored the party to initiate a reconciliation process, aimed at rejuvenating the party and propelling it forward.
‘My advice is for the party to call for true submission, where everyone will come and bear their mind, tell them what went wrong, and how we can move the party forward.’
He further restated his firm stance, making it clear that he has no intentions of aligning himself with the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
‘I’ve said it several times: the moment I am not in the PDP, I will never join another political party, and I will never be a member of the APC, whether they are good or bad.’
