Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Monday declared that he is still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.<\/p>\n

Wike disclosed this while insisting that he works hard for the party.<\/p>\n

Addressing his monthly press briefing, the Minister warned that he\u2019s not afraid to step on the toes of rich people.<\/p>\n

According to Wike, he enjoys stepping on the toes of the wealthy, not the poor people.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cLook at what we are doing differently. I have found out that most of them didn\u2019t have the courage to annoy people, to step on toes \u2013 I take joy when stepping on the toes of big men, those who say nothing will happen. I take joy in saying something will happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes me happy. You want me to take decisions against the poor people while you, the rich man, think nothing will happen \u2013 something will happen. And that\u2019s why we are getting results.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only person that I owe is Mr. President. This is what I\u2019m doing because I have to support the government and make a difference.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m in PDP, but when people don\u2019t want to learn, impunity will kill you. I\u2019m still in PDP and work hard for this party.\u201d<\/p>\n
