"The party cannot make you; you are the one who will make the party popular to win the election. Party can not say you are popular, it is you that will make the party popular. Look at it this way, I agree that the PDP made me. Ask Bode George, who the PDP made in Lagos, if it is the party that makes people. Whom in Lagos the party has been made since 1999? And then you are talking to me who has laboured and campaigned and worked for the party to be the major party in the state and at the national level,ÔÇØ Wike said during the interview.
