Minister of the Federal Capital, Nyesom Wike, has suggested that the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Umar Damagun, betrayed him.

Wike claimed that he has turned out to become Damagum’s enemy, adding that the PDP Chairman won’t hesitate to kill him if he had the opportunity.

He said that he was the reason Damagun is still in that position as the PDP Chairman, adding that he did everything within his powers to put him there.

“I did everything, I had his lawyers, and that’s what sustained Damagum to be there,” Wike said on Thursday while fielding questions on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

“But who is Damagum’s enemy now? It is me. If there is one person Damagum wants to be killed, it is me,” he added.

Meanwhile, DAILY POST reported recently that a former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, had called on the Damagun-led National Working Committee, NWC, to expel Wike, former Benue State governor, Samuel Ortom, former Abia State governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, and others from the PDP.

He urged the NWC to wield the big stick and sanction members who openly undermine the party to the advantage of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

DSS1335:
May it be as you have spoken. We are better off without you. Rivers state would have gone very far in terms of development and welfare improvement if not you. I hope PDP NWC flush you out completely

It is imperative to declare that Wike is not in his right mental health. So everybody should worship Wike despite his antics and controversial behavior. Firstly, if anybody is to be term a betrayal it should be Wike he betrayed PDP and now he is trying to betray Jonathan his political canopy. Wasn't Jonathan that brought Wike is him loyal to him now? Is it not PDP that brought him to the limelight hasn't him betrayed the PDP with anti party activities. So everybody in PDP should be answerable to Wike as if they don't have opinion or interest! This is a man that should long be fired in the party for his outboost and antics that has fan embers of division and disunity in the party. Nonsense!

Tjra:
Nyesom Wike, no man born of a woman can kill you. You will sign the condolence registers of all your enemies.

The good people of Nigeria are with you our Rivers state leader.

mrvitalis:
Wike problem is he thinks because he helps people in politics they should follow his lead even if it's illogical and against the interest of majority

There is no past PDP chairman in the last 12 years wike didn't insist on PDP making chairman

And their is no PDP chairman he hasn't fallen out with

Wike can't stand criticism, once you criticize wike boom you are his enemy
