The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lauded Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), as one of its most devoted and loyal members.
This accolade was delivered by the PDP Deputy National Chairman (South), Taofeek Arapaja, during a book launch held in honor of Wike.
Arapaja emphasized Wike's unwavering commitment to the party, noting that despite internal challenges, including members with an "entitlement mentality," Wike continues to earn admiration and respect within the PDP.
"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 endeavors," Arapaja stated.
Highlighting Wike's steadfast advocacy for equity, justice, and fairness, Arapaja praised his leadership role in the G5 group and his consistent support for fellow party members.
He contrasted this with some leaders who only engage 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 addressed 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."
