Wike firmly stated: “I don’t run away from any fight. I will stay and fight it out. Who am I going to run from? The vampires? I cannot do that!”
Wike’s comments come amid speculation that he may exit the PDP due to internal conflicts, particularly those targeting him.
However, he has consistently affirmed his commitment to his principles, even if it means standing alone.
When asked if he might leave the PDP, Wike responded, “Anyone who knows me knows if I wanted to join the APC, I would do it openly.
“I’ve never hidden my stance, and I won’t start now. Integrity is very important.”
Wike stressed his commitment to principles, asserting that PDP won in Rivers State because he stood his ground.
“People must know you for something,” he concluded, dismissing his critics as being afraid of his influence.

This comes less than 24 hours after Chief Edwin Clark, a former Federal Commissioner for Information, called on PDP National Chairman, Iliya Damagun, to expel Wike from the party.
In an open letter, Clark accused Wike of using his influence with President Bola Tinubu to intimidate Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara, and the PDP.
