The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, extended his congratulations to Samuel Anyanwu, the National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in celebration of his 60th birthday.

During the birthday event held in Abuja, where a book titled ‘Sam Daddy In My Eyes’ was presented, Wike commended Anyanwu for his confirmation as the National Secretary of the PDP.

“I am happy with the crowd I am seeing here. It shows you are a man of the people.

“Let me assure you, for people like us, we will stand with you. We will continue to be with you. It doesn’t matter what the people will say.

“Nobody fights a war, wins and begs. You have won, and the people concerned should come and talk to you, not you inviting them.

“You don’t fight a war and win and then people will say come, no. Tell them, ‘You, come to me’.

“You have people like me, so don’t be afraid. I am here. We have done it before, and we will do it again. Some people will not be happy, but I am happy.

“What makes a man is his character and not how much money he has or the food he provides. If you don’t have character, go to hell with your food,” said Wike.

Wike noted that he advised Anyanwu to be steadfast and unyielding in the tussle for the national secretary position.

“So I warned him, if you know you will not stand firm, say it now. I also asked him, are you sure you can stand this fight?

“A situation where virtually everybody, including governors, are fighting you, will not be easy but if you stand firm you will win.

“However, if you begin to go left and you go right, not only will you lose, you will suffer, and he assured me that he would stand firm and would not change.

“You have shown me, with what had just happened recently, that you are a man that will stand by his words,” he added.
