I secured PDP leaders’ approval to be in Tinubu’s govt – Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, said on Monday he was given the go-ahead by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders to accept President Bola Tinubu’s ministerial appointment.

Wike, a former governor of Rivers State, was one of the 45 ministers inaugurated by President Tinubu on Monday.

He fell out with the PDP before the last general election and had approached the Federal High Court, Abuja to restrain the party from suspending or expelling him for anti-party activities.
