Nobody Is Above The Party – PDP Tells Wike

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has told the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, that he is not above the party.

The declaration was made on Monday during a press conference in Abuja by the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba.

The declaration follows the submission by Wike in Port Harcourt on Saturday, where he warned PDP governors against interfering in the party’s matters in Rivers State, and issued a threat to “put fire in their states.”

The former Rivers State Governor boasted that nobody can take away the structure of the PDP in the state from his hands.

Responding to Wike’s position, the PDP spokesman emphasized the supremacy of the party.

He said: “What I can tell you is that nobody is above this party. It is the People’s Democratic Party.

“What we have done is set up bodies (reconciliation and disciplinary committees) and given them the mandate to do the job. We will wait for their report.”

He also said Wike’s remark was directed at the governors, who would respond to it in their own time.

Meanwhile, the PDP has summoned the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, over alleged anti-party activities.

Wike was summoned to appear before the PDP disciplinary committee.

This was made known on Monday by the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Ibrahim Abdullahi, who disclosed in an interview with Channels TV that the former Rivers State Governor has been sent a letter to appear before the party’s disciplinary committee.

Abdullahi added that Wike’s statement about “putting fire in their states” in reference to PDP governors is unacceptable.
