The Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he was instrumental in making the Peoples Democratic Party popular and establishing it as a major political force at both national and state levels.
Wike made the remarks during his monthly live media chat in Abuja on Monday.
Responding to criticisms from Chief Bode George, a member of the PDP Board of Trustees, over the sealing of the party’s National Secretariat, Wike advised the elder statesman to “sit down in your house and read your newspapers” if he had no occupation.
He explained that neither he nor the party could pay the ground rent because the property was not registered in their names.
“I cannot pay because, first of all, it is not in my name. They cannot pay because the property is not in their name.
“If an elderly man has no job, he should sit at home and read his newspapers. Bode George said PDP made me by giving me a national profile, and I agree. But the party does not make you; you are the one who makes the party win elections.
“Ask Bode George who PDP has made popular in Lagos since 1999? You are speaking to me, someone who has laboured and campaigned for the party to become the major political force at both state and national levels.
“Meanwhile, in his state, the party has been struggling daily. Even when Jonathan was in power, we knew what we did for PDP to take over power, but it did not succeed,” he stated.
