Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, on Saturday, August 8, narrated an encounter in the house of the former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying his wife almost walked him out.
Wike disclosed this through a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, saying it was the intervention of the former Ondo State governor, Segun Mimiko, that saved him from the embarrassment.
Wike said: “He wanted to be PDP National Chairman and was carrying on like the position was his birthright. We stopped him because it was the turn of the South-South. Since then, he has not stopped being angry.
“As a sitting governor, I visited his house in Maitama, Abuja, to appeal to him after the national convention, his wife attempted to walk me out, but for the intervention of former governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko.”
Wike also said Bode George was allegedly bitter with him because of the decision of party leaders to stop him from becoming the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Wike, therefore said he has no regret stopping Chief Bode George, from becoming the National Chairman, saying; “His anger is because we didn’t allow him to be PDP National Chairman and no regret for doing so.”
