The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, appears to be in a quandary over whether or not to wield the big stick against Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, his four other colleagues and other party leaders/members for alleged anti-party activities.

Vanguard gathered in Abuja yesterday that opinion is divided among party leaders as to how best to deal with the issue because those involved include highly placed party leaders.

While some argue that Wike and co should be ignored and treated as a distraction, others are of the opinion that it is hightime the party leadership wielded the big stick.

“In the most brazen of acts after a barrage of verbal attacks on Ayu, whom he accused of corruption, Wike openly endorsed the second term bid of Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwu-Olu, the 2023 candidate of the 2023 governorship elections.

“This was at a time the PDP candidate for the same election, Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran (JANDOR), is seeking the mandate of the people of Lagos State.

Wike and four of his aggrieved colleagues have made good their threat of staying away from the party’s presidential campaigns until the party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, resigns.

The Rivers State governor, and his counterparts, Samuel Ortom (Benue), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu) and Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), have stuck to their guns in insisting that a southerner replaced Ayu since the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, the Director General of his campaign, Aminu Tambuwual, are northerners.

A member of the party’s National Executive Committee who pleaded anonymity because the matter is yet to be brought before NEC, said: “This issue is as complex as it is simple. How do you go about sanctioning a sitting governor, let alone five in the middle of a campaign?

“There is no doubt that Wike and even one of our party leaders, a former governor of Enugu State, Senator Chimaroke Nnamani, have gone as far as endorsing our rival candidates for the governorship and the presidency; these are clearly anti-party activities.

Why do I say so? Section 58 (1) of our party’s Constitution provides that “Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the party shall have power to disciple any member who says or does anything likely to bring the party into disrepute, hatred or contempt, (f) engages in anti-party activities.

“With what these two and others have done and are doing, is there any other proof one needs to call for sanctions? Actions should have consequences.

Countering, another party leader said: “Politics and political party management is more complex than just sticking to the rule book. You are dealing with human beings who have rights and freedoms which should be protected. Moral suasion is the key to resolving this matter.

“Agreeing but not conceding that Wike overstepped his bounds of decency and commitment to the party , however, how do you explain our party’s decision to set aside its time tested zoning arrangement with regards to the presidential ticket?

“We must also learn from history, we know what happened when four or five governors left us in 2013/2014.”

Earlier in an interactive session with newsmen in Abuja, National Publicity Secretary of the party, Debo Ologunagba, while responding to a question on Wike’s actions, said: “The PDP has processes and procedures.

”We deal with issues in line with our laid down procedures. One thing is certain, we are all united in the desire to rescue Nigeria from this rudderless APC administration come 2023.”

A house that is divided cannot stand..

Tinubu is winning ..... good

Wike is free to go and join Tinubu, they will all lose. If truly he believes in Fairness and Equity, he (Wike) should have thrown his weight behind Peter Obi for Equity and Fairness but the sore loser is supporting Tinubu. Atiku will win the election with a landslide victory. SE, NE & NC are the only zones that can legitimately lay claim to the presidency.

We are with Wike. Na where him go we go go. We no go talk too much for this matter.

No need. They already dealt with them by ignoring them and moving on with campaign

Pdp has no moral justification to sanction the erring governors of Pdp. Pdp had a zoning agreement which they( including wike and his gang) violated

Ok

Wike is now APC underground he will soon announce

Trust the north at your own peril.
They feel that being in power is forever their birthright.
Wike just learnt the hard way.
Tinubu would also soon learn the hard way.

O ga oo

Wike is indeed holding them by the balls

But don't Atiku have anyone he can trust as chairman of the party from the south?

Let them have a southerner as chairman I don't think that should be too hard even if it means having another convention.

And it's not a must Wike side produce the chairman since it's a game of number just outplay him.

By then he'll have no excuse again.

As e dey pain Dem, e dey sweet us

Anyway BAT 2023

Wike don choke Atiku and PDP.
As e Dey pain dem, e Dey sweet us.

This so not true as it stands now Atiku is on top he has the north he only needs 30-35% in d south south, 15% in SW 20% I. SE 75 to 80% is sure for him from the north and he is a goal wike should be the one I. Dilemma now.

Atiku should follow agreements.

Our people say ' Agreement is Agreement '.

Only one man dealing with pdp

Good one

Make dem dey disorganise till they lose the 2023 Presidential Election

Wike should have been suspended for anti-party activities by now...

Since he's the beautiful bride that everyone wants, he's above the law.

He who pays the piper dictates the tone.
