Nyesom Wike says that those waiting for his political downfall will wait till eternity or
endlessly for the prediction to be fulfilled.
Wike spoke through his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, Lere Olayinka, insisting that Senator Samuel Anyanwu remains the national secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Olayinka, was reacting to the remarks made by the former governor of Ebonyi State, Sam Egwu.
Egwu had in a statement on Tuesday, said that Wike was living on borrowed time, pointing out that the FCT minister’s influence would soon fade out.
Commenting on Egwu's remarks, Wike's spokesman also said in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday, that those waiting for Wike’s downfall would wait forever.
Olayinka stressed that Wike’s political progress was based on most importantly, God's grace, hard work as well as dedication, just as he faulted Egwu’s challenge to Wike to make it possible for the suspended governor of River State, Siminalayi Fubara to return to his duty post.
He further described allegations that Wike now exercises the powers of President Bola Tinubu and the National Assembly in Rivers as absurd.
“This type of statement should not come from a former lawmaker,” he said.
Apart from dismissing the minister’s downfall, Olayinka dismissed threats by a faction of the South East leaders of the PDP to withdraw their support for the party, noting that, it was illogical for people who could not deliver anything substantial in terms of votes to the PDP in the 2023 elections to be threatening to withdraw their support for the party.

His words, "The PDP constitution is clear as to who is the National Secretary of the party. His name is Senator Samuel Anyanwu, and anyone saying or doing anything contrary is only interested in the collapse of the party.”
