The faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) aligned with Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has dismissed recent comments by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, describing them as baseless and a reflection of “political frustration.”

In a statement issued yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Ini Ememobong, the group criticised Wike’s remarks, alleging that his recent media outing was marked by “political rascality, moral emptiness, and crass opportunism.”

The statement said Wike’s comments did not warrant a direct response, describing them instead as his “political swan song” and “the last kicks of a dying horse.”

According to the faction, the minister used the platform to malign prominent Nigerians, adding that his conduct has become an embarrassment beyond the country.

“This statement is not a response to his tirade, which is indeed his political swan song,” the group said, while apologising to Nigerians for what it described as previously providing him with a platform to rise politically.

The PDP faction further advised individuals allegedly defamed by Wike to seek legal redress, stressing that no one should be above the law.
