“FCT Minister Wike Throws Down the Gauntlet: ‘I Dare PDP to Prove I’m a Mole!’

In a bold and defiant statement, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has challenged his critics within the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to come forward and publicly accuse him of being a mole. Taking to his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Wike made a daring proclamation:

“I dare anybody in the PDP to come out on national television. I dare any governor, I dare any National Working Committee (NWC) member, to come out on national television to say I am a mole.”

Wike’s statement comes amidst swirling allegations and internal party discord, as some factions within the PDP have insinuated that the former Rivers State governor, now serving under President Bola Tinubu’s administration, may be acting as a double agent. Wike, known for his fiery rhetoric and unfiltered statements, is evidently not taking these accusations lightly.

This public challenge puts further strain on the already fractured PDP, with Wike daring top figures, including state governors and NWC members, to back their allegations with evidence. His call for them to step forward on national television suggests that the minister is ready to confront these accusations head-on, in the public eye.

The timing of Wike’s outburst is significant, as it follows a wave of criticism from opposition figures over his controversial appointment as FCT Minister in the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration. Despite his long history with the PDP, Wike has been accused by some party members of betraying the cause, especially after endorsing Tinubu’s candidacy over the PDP’s Atiku Abubakar during the 2023 presidential election.

With these new developments, the spotlight is now on the PDP’s leadership. Will they rise to the challenge, or will Wike’s daring statement go unanswered? The coming days may well provide the answer, but for now, Wike has thrown down the gauntlet, and the political landscape is bracing for the fallout.

Stay tuned as this high-stakes political drama unfolds, with potential ramifications not just for the PDP, but for Nigeria’s broader political sphere.”
