South-South PDP In Turmoil As Governors Battle Wike, Dan Orbih by Wisdomkosi(op): 7:47am On Feb 26, 2025
There is currently tension in the South-South division of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a fierce power struggle is currently ongoing between the region’s governors in the party and former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, along with South-South PDP National Vice Chairman, Dan Orbih.

At the centre of the crisis is the controversial PDP zonal congress held in Calabar, which has been disowned by the party’s National Working Committee (NWC).

Governors Siminalayi Fubara (Rivers), Douye Diri (Bayelsa), Sheriff Oborevwori (Delta), and Umo Eno (Akwa Ibom) have strongly opposed Wike and Orbih’s involvement in the congress, calling for either a fresh election or Orbih’s removal.

Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has insisted that the congress was legitimate and remains defiant despite mounting pressure from the governors.

The legal battle surrounding the congress further complicates the dispute, as a Rivers State High Court had previously restrained the PDP from proceeding with it. However, the Congress went ahead despite the legal order, prompting the NWC to reject its outcome.

Meanwhile, senior party officials revealed that the interests of the South-South governors were not protected at the zonal congress that produced Orbih as the chairman.

The governors are unhappy that a congress was held in their zone without their involvement. The four governors cannot tolerate Wike dictating to them in the South-South; they believe he has had his time, and now it is their turn to decide who leads the PDP in the region.

“They are working with the NWC to explore legal options and hold another congress that will represent their interests. They are determined to take action against Wike, Orbih, and the individuals elected as the party’s zonal leaders,’’ a party official told Punch.

Another insider added further insight into the governors’ battle plan, saying, “The governors will not just stand by. Wike cannot continue to act like a demigod. The crisis has now spread from Rivers State to the entire South-South.’’

Not true. Wike gets drunk from a forty-year-old whiskey. He said so himself.

What will happen if wike is sacked or suspended Indefinitely from the party. Otherwise he will not let the party have direction and speed while he constitutes himself into a clog in the wheel of progress in the party.

Wike and Atiku need to be expelled, they should also ask acting party chairman to resign to pave way for a chairman from north central.
Find way how Obi will come back to PDP, and next woo all APC bigwigs that have been sidelined by Tinubu govt, and last and most important, every party members, from north to south, should start working towards Obi candidature going to 2027 election.

Even though the above analysis is almost impossible, "if they can achieve all", Tinubu would shake in 2027election and it will put PDP on a strong footing going to 2031 election.

PDP is the one who needs him right now... He knows how to play the game than any of them.... He can influence tinube and power will b handover on a plate to pdp in 2027 or 2031.... Wike is the real voice of the South south right now.. cool

All these south south governors are really chickens, sitting down and allowing an ex governor to dictate things in their region.
Re: South-South PDP In Turmoil As Governors Battle Wike, Dan Orbih by Nobody: 8:52am On Feb 26, 2025
PDP governors are a bunch of spineless weaklings who tuck their tails between their legs because of an inebriated agent provocateur of the APC.

Why allow a scallywag who only has nuisance value for the ruling government to, while dining in the APC , still exert immeasurable control over you sitting shitheads in the PDP?

The band of marauders known as the APC has practically pillaged and strip the country bare while those PDP fckers are still lying prostrate.
Re: South-South PDP In Turmoil As Governors Battle Wike, Dan Orbih by gbengene1234(m): 8:54am On Feb 26, 2025
The first step in solving pdp crisis is to expel Wike. If not, trouble continues.

The complains of the south south governors has revealed the levels of their IQs,never in the history of this country had something of this nature happened because you are afraid of 2027 and President Tinubu southx2 Governors are behaving like cowards,Twefiakwa.

Governor wike remains the number one leader of PDP in South South.

Governor wike also set to take over the leadership of PDP in the south East.

Wike na man you be.

We are solidly behind you.

Nterisi 1 of ikwerre kingdom.

Wike is greater than Azikiwe. OJUKWU and entire Ndigbo.

.. if PDP wants to move forward and succeed in 2027 election...is for them to expel Wike.. Wike is destabilizing the party, causing problems, quarells, in fighting, misunderstanding in the party... PDP should know that wike soul is in APC and body in PDP
Re: South-South PDP In Turmoil As Governors Battle Wike, Dan Orbih by valentineuwakwe(m): 9:15am On Feb 26, 2025
Make wike rest now...why all this power drunk antics and gra gra?
He forgets his time is phasing out gradually and power does not last forever.

I just feel APC is using him to further destroy the PDP for 2027 elections..
Funny enough the deal has been done and he will get a vice.presidential slot under Ribadu as president in the 2031 elections.
Re: South-South PDP In Turmoil As Governors Battle Wike, Dan Orbih by Charly68: 9:19am On Feb 26, 2025
Jagaban is a political master who found Wike as a bonafide, competent and maverick political machine that will deliver in his territory. Qualities that Atiku and his Co travellers were unable to see or deliberately ignored. They will surely pay for it till 2031 .. If you think I'm kidding ,wait for 2027 to come. Before then ,they would have cut PDP to three of four groups and ostracize the likes of El- Rufai who is contemplating to join the sinking ship as a way of rescuing his political career. He will learn by fire by fire as the game goes on
