Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Governor of Rivers State and current minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike has called on the National Working Committee, NWC, of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to suspend the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar.<\/p>\n

The Minister and chieftain of the PDP also wants the likes of Sule Lamido and Aminu Tambuwal suspended from the main opposition party.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview on Channels Television, Wike said himself and members of the G5 should be congratulated for fighting for justice, equity and fairness within the party.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cI\u2019m calling on the National Working Committee of the party to, as a matter of urgency, suspend the presidential candidate of the party, suspend Aminu Tambuwal, suspend Sule Lamido …\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked why he thinks he shouldn\u2019t be suspended too, Wike added, \u201cThey know I didn\u2019t do anything wrong. They should be congratulating us for fighting for equity, fairness and justice… \u201d<\/p>\n

When asked if he was not fighting against the will of the party, Wike added that the party was fighting against Nigerians.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs the party not against Nigerians? Who is superior? Is the party superior to Nigerians?<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a Constitution. But because you think you have the power, you don\u2019t want to follow the Constitution.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey think they can do anything without anybody which they know is not possible. You can\u2019t succeed,\u201d he further stated.<\/p>\n
