member of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

 

This is despite the threats to expel him from the main
opposition party.

Wike fell out with the PDP hierarchy in the run-up to the
2023 presidential election.

 

He had insisted the party maintain its internal
power-sharing formula by zoning the presidential ticket to southern Nigeria.

He then worked for the ruling All Progressives Congress
(APC), leading to the emergence of President Bola Tinubu, who later appointed
him as a minister.

 

“I am a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),” he
said during a media parley with selected journalists in Abuja. “Have you ever
seen me change anything?

 

Wike has been absent from major meetings of the PDP and has
not been seen campaigning for them in the recent off-cycle elections, he does
not regret his action.
