PDP Crisis: Wike Speaks On Party Affairs Tomorrow

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, has announced plan to speak on the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) tomorrow, Friday.

The Governor said he will also shed more light on the reason his camp pulled out of the presidential Campaign Council of the party for the 2023 general elections.

Members of the Wike camp had pulled out of the party’s campaign council and vowed not to partake in Atiku’s campaign activities pending the resignation of the party’s National Chairman, Senator Iyorchia Ayu.

The Wike’s camp made the decisions at a strategic meeting held in Port Harcourt last month.

The Camp decided to hold the meeting following the vote of confidence passed on Ayu as the party’s national chairman by the National Executive Committee (NEC) despite their demand for his resignation.

In a resolution read by a former PDP Deputy National Chairman, Bode George, the Wike camp insisted that its members will not work with Atiku until Ayu resigns and allow an acting Chairman from the South to lead the party.

George stated that the Wike camp stated that their position was not negotiable as the continued stay of Ayu as the part chairman undermines the unity and constitution of the party.

The camp while sticking with their plans boycotted the flag off of the Atiku’s Campaign in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, South South Nigeria on Monday.

Also, the national vice-chairman of the party in the South-South, Dan Orbih boycotted the campaign launch of the party.

The five PDP governors are Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, Samuel Ortom of Benue State, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State, Seyi Makinde of Oyo State and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State.

The governors have been aggrieved over the party’s failure at fulfilling their demands of removing national chairman of the party, Iyorchia Ayu.
