“A fight you can’t fight, don’t start it,” the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barr. Nyesom Wike, declared on Monday as he took a swipe at Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, during the 107th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Wike, in a blunt remark, described as “unfortunate” claims
allegedly made by Makinde regarding meetings involving him and the President,
insisting such assertions were misleading.
“It’s unfortunate a fight you cannot fight, you started,”
Wike said.
Politics is not contract work.
He went further to caution against treating politics as a
business venture.
They are two different things,” Wike said. “You wanted
money; I wanted power. Stay where you are as a contractor.”
“Politics is not a contract of Shell. I didn’t go into
politics to be a contractor. I went into politics to have power,” Wike
declared.
The FCT Minister used the occasion to caution party members
against engaging in unnecessary political battles, stressing that politics
requires strategy, not bravado.
He further warned PDP members ahead of the party’s March
29–30 national convention to demonstrate loyalty or risk being sidelined.
“After this NEC meeting, anybody that doesn’t show
commitment to the convention don’t come back after and say you are fully back.
I will not accept that,” he stated.
Wike also emphasized the need for unity, urging leaders to
intensify reconciliation efforts while maintaining sincerity among members.
