Wike a clog in PDP’s wheel, he should be honorable enough to resign — Sen. Shehu Sani
A former lawmaker representing the Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the 8th National Assembly, Senator Shehu Sani has noted that the emergence of Nyesome Wike as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory is a receipt of the proverbial 30 shekels of Silver from President Bola Tinubu for betraying his party and it’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, reports The PUNCH.
Sani also described the presence of the former Governor of Rivers State in the ruling party as the ‘hand of Esau’ in the PDP and the ‘voice of Jacob’ urged him to quit the PDP because of distrust.
According to the Kaduna-based politician, this will give Wike the opportunity to work excellently for President Tinubu as the FCT Minister and without distractions.
Sani argued that it would be honourable for the politician to exit the PDP so that it can effectively play its role as the main opposition party in the current political dispensation in the country.
The vocal northern senator stated these in an exclusive interview with Arewa Punch, adding, “Asiwaju (President) wants to send a message that he does not betray those who work for his own emergence.
“As long as Wike remains in the PDP, it won’t be a relevant party because it will never be relevant in its scheme of opposition. Because they will control the structure of the party and ensure that whoever will emerge will not be a serious threat to the APC.
“PDP is still afraid of taking action against those who undermined its victory and it will confine it to irrelevance as far as it has no punishment for anti-party elements because as long as there are people who have one leg in the PDP and one in APC, PDP will never fly and nobody is going to take the PDP seriously as far as party politics is concerned,” he said.
