….Says He Has Crossed The Red Line
THE Conference of Professionals in the Peoples Democratic Party (CP-PDP) has threatened to declare the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, Chief Nyesom Wike persona non-grata to PDP offices, meetings and functions across the country if the party National Working Committee (NWC) and all other organs of the party fails to take disciplinary action against him.
The CP-PDP, in a release signed by its protem National Coordinator, Barr Obinna Nwachukwu, further states that the former Rivers State governor has crossed the red line in his constant tirade against the PDP, the latest being his recent media outburst where he dared the PDP leadership and contemptuously described the National Working Committee (NWC) as “stupid”.
“After cataloguing Chief Wike’s demarketing utterances and actions which are having damaging effect on our party, including disparaging the PDP leadership, declaring loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC) government and openly endorsing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for re-election in 2027, the CP-PDP restates its demand to the NWC to sanitise and save the party by expelling the FCT minister as a member of the PDP.
“Chief Wike has pitched tents with the APC government; he has not been demonstrating the desired loyalty, allegiance and respect expected of a member to the PDP and its organs; his utterances and actions as a member of the PDP are destroying our party and there is a limit to which such should be allowed if the PDP must survive.
“This statement by the CP-PDP therefore serves as an open letter to the NWC and all other organs of our party to immediately take disciplinary action against the FCT minister or this Conference will be left with no other option than to declare him a persona non-grata to PDP offices, meetings and functions across the country. He should leave the PDP alone and declare for the APC where he is already a government official.
“Moreover, our body of lawyers, as members of the PDP, are already compiling materials to approach a court for redress against the minister for defaming our party.
“The CP-PDP advises the FCT minister to beware of hubris. He should desist from further attacks on our party as the Conference will not hesitate to take on him head-to-head in the defence of our party and nation’s democracy.”
The CP-PDP reassures all PDP members and Nigerians of its unwavering commitment to defending and rebuilding our party for the task ahead.
