Wike, Dino, others to face PDP disciplinary Panel Over Anti-Party Activities

Former Rivers State Governor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike and other chieftains of the People Democratic Party (PDP) accused of various acts of anti-party activities, are to appear before the Chief Tom Ikimi-led PDP disciplinary committee.

Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the party, Ibrahim Abdullahi explained that Wike had been summoned via a letter to appear before the Tom Ikimi-led PDP disciplinary committee set up by the party’s National Working Committee.

He 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."

Speaking further, Abdullahi said the former Rivers state governor’s statement about “putting fire in their (PDP Governors’ states” 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.”

Recall that Wike while addressing party members during a factional PDP Congress in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Wike threatened to cause a political crisis in the states of any PDP governor who tried to interfere in the party’s affairs in the South-South state.

The FCT minister also stated that anyone angry with his position in Tinubu’s government should go and hug a transformer.

Other party chieftains such as former Kogi State Governorship candidate, Senator Dino Melaye is also said to have been summoned to appear before the panel.
