PDP Plans Disciplinary Action Against Wike for APC Ties

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is preparing to take disciplinary action against members accused of undermining the party's interests, specifically targeting Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. PDP chieftain Emmanuel Ogidi expressed these concerns during an interview on Arise Television, highlighting the ongoing internal crisis within the party.

Ogidi accused Wike of maintaining ties with the PDP while allegedly supporting the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), stating that such actions threaten democracy. He emphasized that the PDP cannot tolerate internal sabotage, especially as political activities ramp up ahead of future elections.

Ogidi did not specify the disciplinary measures being considered against Wike or when a formal decision would be announced. The tensions involving Wike and the PDP have persisted since the 2023 general elections, with divisions over the presidential candidate and party leadership.

Wike, a former governor of Rivers State, was appointed as FCT minister in 2023 under an APC-led administration, raising questions about his dual association with the PDP.
