PDP's Emmanuel Ogidi Plans Disciplinary Action Against Wike

Emmanuel Ogidi, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stated that the party intends to take disciplinary action against members who violate its principles, specifically targeting Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. In an interview on Arise Television, Ogidi characterized the ongoing crisis within the PDP as a result of internal sabotage.

He claimed that the party is no longer addressing the demands of the faction led by Wike. Ogidi accused Wike of serving the interests of the All Progressives Congress (APC) while still claiming allegiance to the PDP, labeling this conduct as a threat to democracy.

He emphasized that the PDP would not tolerate indiscipline and warned that members acting against the party's interests would face consequences. Ogidi reassured that despite challenges such as defections and disputes over zoning, the PDP remains resilient and is focused on organizing a successful national convention in preparation for the 2027 general elections.
