Anti-party activities: Wike to face disciplinary committee – PDP

0

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, is expected to face its disciplinary committee over alleged anti-party activities.

The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the party, Ibrahim Abdullahi, disclosed this today on Channels Television.

According to Abdullahi, the PDP has written a letter to Wike inviting him to appear before the disciplinary committee set up by the party’s National Working Committee.

“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,” Abdullahi said.

“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.”

Over the weekend, Wike threatened to cause political crisis in the state PDP governors who interfere in the affairs of the PDP in Rivers State.

The former Rivers State governor made the threat at the PDP secretariat in Port Harcourt on Saturday during the party’s state congress.

“Let me assure all of you, not while we live will anybody take away the structure of PDP from us. But let me tell people, I hear some governors who say they will take over the structure and give back to somebody, I pity those governors because I will put fire in their states.

“When God has given you peace, you say you don’t want peace – anything you see you take,” Wike had said.

Reacting to Wike’s threat to the PDP governors, Abdullahi said that the party is disappointed at the statement by the minister, adding that it is wrong and unacceptable.

“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,” Abdullahi said.
