The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Thursday recalled how the past administration of late former President Muhammadu Buhari tried to destroy the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Wike disclosed that Buhari’s administration and a former Borno State governor, Ali Modu Sheriff tried to destroy the PDP but he and others resisted them.

He disclosed this while reacting to claims that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is using him to destroy the PDP.

Speaking during his monthly media chat in Abuja, Wike said: “Let me just tell you this. When Buhari was in power, there was nothing the government did not do for PDP to scatter, there was nothing.

“In fact, Ali Modu Sheriff was being used to scatter PDP then, we stood firm. And made sure the party was strong and made sure the party was strong, You can see clearly.

“Now, there is not even any attempt by any government to try to put the party down, you are the one on your own destroying your party.”

Wike also disclosed that he was threatened as a governor but he stood firm.

“We were governors, who is pursuing whom? I had a major threat as a governor. That alone would have made me to say, let me go and enjoy to save my head,” he added.
