Wike confidently stated, "Governance is not about party. Party is a vehicle that conveys you. I’m a PDP member — unrepentant. I never hid my intention. As a PDP member, I came out to support fairness, equity, and justice."
Expressing his alignment with President Tinubu's government, Wike noted, "I feel at home working for the government of President Tinubu. He is a man who means well for the country. I’m not here to work for a party. I’m here to support the president, who has confidence in me. I owe nobody an apology."
Addressing the possibility of his suspension from the PDP, Wike questioned, "How can anybody talk about expelling me? With all due respect, I have not seen that person. Nobody will do it. So, the issue that they will do it does not arise. Who will discipline me? I should be the one calling for the discipline of people who violated the party’s constitution on rotation of offices."
