During the press conference, the former PDP governor noted that 10 of the PDP governors submitted names to President Bola Tinubu and questioned why he was the only one being called out.

His statement reads in part:

“I laugh at those Reggae dancers in PDP discussing suspension—ridiculous people. Ignore them, and let’s focus on serious matters. There’s no PDP Governor who didn’t make nominations for Mr President. All of them made ten nominations each.”

Wike further revealed that he informed the PDP national, zonal and state chairmen before deciding to accept President Tinubu’s offer.

He further stressed that he also extended his consultation to the minority leaders of the House of Representatives, the Senate, and his state governor.
