A political analyst and commentator, Okey Ikechukwu said that the Peoples Democratic Party should be embarrassed that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike is still a member of the party.
Speaking during an interview with Channels Television on Friday, Ikechukeu said Wike has been on different occasions has beern captured and engaged in anti-party activities yet the PDP has remained adamant on the matter.
He said, “Wike, whether you like him a not, you must ask yourself: is this man a fool? The answer is no. Does he know what he is doing? Maybe.
“Can you disregard him? The answer is no. It is the PDP that should be embarrassed that Wike is still a member, given all that he has done and all that he’s doing,” Ikechukwu said.
However, stating that Wike and remains a political asset, he said it is embarrassing that the PDP has not been able to manage the challenges brought to the party by the former Rivers State governor.
“It’s the PDP that should be embarrassed that it has not been able to manage such a man because Wike will be a political asset to anybody he works for. For those he is working for now, he is a political asset.
“But to allow him to bestride both lanes and be doing 160 kilometers per hour shows there is nobody controlling the traffic,” Ikechukwu said.
He further stated that the opposition party has ridiculed itself in the Nigerian political space.
