The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has taken action against former governor of Rivers State and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
The party has on summoned him to appear before its disciplinary committee over anti-party activities, Punch reports.
This was revealed by the PDP Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Ibrahim Abdullahi, during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Monday, September 2, 2024.
The Deputy National Publicity Secretary further disclosed that the disciplinary committee was set up by the National Working Committee, and that it is led by Tom Ikimi.
“Three weeks ago, we put up two committees in place, that of reconciliation and disciplinary, and Nyesom Wike is one of the persons to face the disciplinary committee, which is headed by elder statesman Chief Tom Ikimi.
“The disciplinary committee will look into issues of anti-party activities. We’ve been receiving petitions regarding anti-party activities or sabotaging the party throughout the primary, leading to where we are now.
“These petitions against Wike and other party members have been aggregated and sent to the committee.
“Some party members even felt that Wike shouldn’t have gotten to this level still as a member of the PDP and they have been writing to the leadership”, he said.
Additionally, he condemned Wike’s statement about putting fire in the states of PDP governors supporting Fubara and interfering in the political crisis rocking Rivers State.
“Wike should be able to manage his words carefully; that was a very disappointing remark. We weren’t expecting him to say that, and to be honest with you, we are not with him on that”, he added.
The FCT Minister made the comment while addressing party members during the Rivers State Congress in Port Harcourt on Saturday, August 31, 2024.
