Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike has denied betraying his political party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He said: “Some people said I betrayed PDP. I never betrayed PDP. We stood firm and told Nigerians we won’t do this if this is not done. So, the issue of betrayal doesn’t arise.”

“Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki betrayed the agreements we had to pave the way for his second term.”

“It is not everything you invest that you will reap. Even, established companies crumble. You cannot say I did this, but I am not benefitting. God knows why it happens the way it happens. What is important in life is to give God the glory that you are alive to see what is happening.”

“When a man is dead, he doesn’t know what is happening. You will be able to advise your children and your friends. When the heat was on in Edo. This young man was a frontrunner in Edo governorship election.”

“PDP leaders came to me in Port Harcourt from 6pm to 6am the next day. I told the young man with Dan Orbih to withdraw and not to run for governor. He was crying and we agreed on what will be given to their group.”

“He was to be refunded the money he spent and to get four commissioners, but not one was kept. We said okay, you would run for Senate in the next election. But not one was kept.”

“But the next thing was blackmail that Wike wants to control this. But you didn’t know Wike wants to control when you came and held a meeting with me from 6pm to 6am. It was all about blackmail. That is what you see in politics.”

“You must have shock absorbers. President Tinubu told me when we were meeting that politics and betrayal are the same mother and father. If you don’t want to be betrayed, don’t enter politics.”

“So, prepare yourself that it will happen. I am fully prepared because I know it is one of the things President Tinubu taught me. I am laying this foundation so that some of you who are worried should not be.”

“That is life for you. You must prepare yourself to know that these things happen. I have preached and continue to preach for the unity and for the peace in this state”.
