The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has ruled out money as reason behind his involvement in politics, disclosing that he joined the field for power.
Wike made this known during the 108th National Executive Committee (NEC) of his faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abuja on Monday.
The Minister stated this while cautioning party members against engaging in unnecessary political battles.
The held that politics requires strategy and must not be treated as a business venture.
“A fight you can’t fight, don’t start it.
“Politics is not contract work; they are two different things. I didn’t go into politics to be a contractor. I went into politics to have power.
“You wanted money; I wanted power. Stay where you are as a contractor.” He said.
Wike also warned the PDP members to demonstrate loyalty to the party ahead of the party’s March 29 to 30 National Convention, insisting that failure to do so may result in being sidelined.
“After this NEC meeting, anybody that doesn’t show commitment to the convention, don’t come back after the event and say you are fully back. I will not accept that,” he said.
He further emphasised the need for unity and urged the leadership of the party to intensify reconciliation efforts while maintaining sincerity among members.
