PDP Fires Wike, Disclaims Reported Agreements
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has denied entering into any agreement with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, stating that such arrangements are personal and do not reflect the party’s official stance.
The party made the clarification after Wike announced his withdrawal from all reconciliation efforts within the PDP, accusing Governor Seyi Makinde of betrayal and sabotage.
OSUN DEFENDER reports that the former governor of Rivers State in a statement he posted on X on Sunday, traced the internal crisis in the PDP to the aftermath of the 2023 general elections, alleging dishonesty, broken promises, and a loss of trust among PDP stakeholders.
However, the National Financial Secretary of the party, Daniel Woyengikuro, said that the PDP had no involvement in any deals made by Wike.
“What agreements are we talking about? Wike had agreements with his friends, not with the party.
“Those names he mentioned — are they the party? The party was not involved in any agreements he made. We have no knowledge of such agreements,” he stated.
Woyengikuro stressed the need for the party’s National Executive Committee, NEC, which is its highest decision-making organ apart from the convention — to convene and address the growing disputes.
“The NEC will address any issues. This isn’t a physical fight or a man-to-man confrontation. All this unnecessary drama is uncalled for,” he added.
He also dismissed Wike’s public accusations, advising Nigerians to seek official party positions from the appropriate authorities.
