The Caretaker Chairman of Obio-Akpor local government area of Rivers State, Ambassador Chijioke Ihunwo has called on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to immediately suspend the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike from the Peoples Democratic Party. He said the minister has caused more pain than joy to the party since 2023 elections.
The Obalga boss, while speaking to journalists in his office challenged the National Working Committee of the party to suspend the former governor if they have not collected bribe from him.
“When the BOT came to our State to see the Governor, I was expecting the BOT to take a stand in what is happening in the party, the man cannot sell the party for his own personal gain. What Wike is doing is not for the interest of Nigerians but for his own personal interest.
“He did this same thing to gain as a Minister, he want to also do it to gain in 2027 presidential election . So, I want to appeal to the party to suspend him immediately because he is on a mission to destroy the party”.
Regarding the just concluded state congress of the PDP, the CTC chairman of Obio-Akpor, described it as efforts in futility, he reminded everyone of the court order halting the process from the ward congress held some weeks ago.
“I want to describe that incident as a jamboree that cannot stand because the leader of the party in the state, His Excellency, Sir Siminalayi Fubara was not part of that process, and there is a court order restraining the party from moving ahead with that congress. In the eyes of the law there was no congress held in Rivers State. I want to advise our people especially the supporters of the governor to remain calm, we will follow them according to the law based on the court order.
“The man who want to live up and down only came to test if he is on ground, and it is obvious he has lost touch with the people. The congress was held in a small hall, as against the usual Obi Wali Conference centre or any other place”, he said.
