The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has stated that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has no choice but to leave the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP).

Wike said Atiku left PDP because he would not allow him to destroy the party.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, Wike said Atiku had never been a committed member.

“They have never been committed members. Atiku has no choice but to leave, because he wanted to use the PDP, but knowing that I’m there, he cannot get that platform.

“Those are people who destroyed the party, how many times has he left PDP and returned?

“Diri has said he has left PDP and I’m one of the happiest persons today. The same him and Makinde said they will not allow anybody to destroy the PDP and fall to the gutter. Who has entered the gutters today?” He said.
