Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike has slammed some governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), accusing them of disloyalty to the main opposition party.
According to him, the PDP governors love President Bola Tinubu “at night but say a different thing” during the day.
He made this known at PDP’s Secretariat in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State during the party’s state congress on Saturday.
The former Rivers State governor during the event also explained his decision to work against his party, the PDP during the last presidential election.
In his words, PDP ignored justice, fairness, and equity during their presidential primary election, hence his decision to work against the party.

Speaking during the event, Wike said: “I didn’t hide it in 2023 when I said PDP I would not support you for presidential election, I said I won’t support PDP because it refused to allow equity, fairness, and justice. So, I have no regrets.
“When Buhari was there, you never saw me play two sides; I never went to the Villa at night only to come out in the day to shout.
“Some of them now love the president at night, but during the day, they say different things.
“Be a man of character, stand so that people will know that this is who you are. I hear some people saying we are supporting somebody else, why won’t we support him?
“We defeated your own candidates, tell us who was your candidate in 2023? They all lost, they are not ashamed that what they didn’t plant, they want to harvest. An armed robber is an armed robber any day, any time.”
