PDP SET TO SANCTION WIKE FOR ANTI-PARTY ACTIVITIES
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram


The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has reiterated its stance on meting out disciplinary sanctions on the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, for alleged anti-party activities detrimental to the PDP. This latest development further deepens the internal crisis currently rocking the PDP which is the major opposition Party in the country. Umar Sani, Senior Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to former Vice President Namadi Sambo, informed that the party’s disciplinary committee, chaired by Chief Tom Ikimi, is poised to address these serious allegations against Wike. Sani emphasized that no member, regardless of their stature, is exempt from the party’s regulations.
While commenting on the subsisting court order secured by Nyesom Wike against the PDP, Sani stated that while a court order may hinder the removal of officials, it does not prevent the party from exercising its rights to suspend erring members or impose necessary disciplinary actions against them. This clarification points to a critical intersection of legal and political maneuvers within the party structure.


Abdullahi revealed that a letter had been issued summoning Wike to appear before the Tom Ikimi-led disciplinary committee, reinforcing the party’s commitment to addressing alleged misconduct head-on. “Three weeks ago, we put up two committees in place, that of reconciliation and disciplinary, and Nyesom Wike is one of the persons to face the disciplinary committee, which is headed by elder statesman Chief Tom Ikimi,” Abdullahi stated. This establishment of dual committees signals a strategic approach by the PDP to not only address grievances but also to foster unity among its members.


In September, the situation escalated when the PDP Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Ibrahim Abdullahi, revealed during a segment on Channels Television’s program, Sunrise Daily, that Wike had been formally invited to address allegations related to his anti-party activities. This highlights the party’s efforts to maintain discipline and uphold its foundational principles.

The disciplinary committee is expected to scrutinize various claims of anti-party activities that have reportedly been filed, particularly during the primary elections that have shaped the party’s current trajectory. “We’ve been receiving petitions regarding anti-party activities or sabotaging the party throughout the primary, leading to where we are now,” Abdullahi noted, emphasizing the seriousness of the allegations against Wike and others within the party.

Abdullahi highlighted the collective concerns of party members, stating that some individuals felt Wike’s position within the PDP was untenable given the allegations. He mentioned that there have been numerous letters directed to the party leadership expressing these sentiments. This shows a growing discontent among the ranks, suggesting that the party’s unity may be at risk if these issues are not adequately addressed.
As the PDP deals with these internal challenges, the outcomes of the disciplinary committee’s investigations could have far-reaching implications not only for Wike but for the party’s overall cohesion and future electoral prospects. The actions taken by the PDP in response to these allegations will be closely watched by political observers and party members alike, as the party strives to balance accountability with the need for unity in a turbulent political landscape.
