The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it has written to minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to appear before a disciplinary committee over alleged anti-party activities.
Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the party, Ibrahim Abdullahi, who disclosed this when he was featured on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Monday, said the committee, headed by Tom Ikimi, was set up by the party’s National Working Committee.
According to him, the disciplinary committee as well as another for reconciliation, were set up three weeks ago.
“The disciplinary committee will look into issues of anti-party activities. We’ve been receiving petitions regarding anti-party activities or sabotaging the party throughout the primary, leading to where we are now. These petitions against Wike and other party members have been aggregated and sent to the committee,” Abdullahi stated.
He noted that “Some party members even felt that Wike shouldn’t have gotten to this level still as a member of the PDP and they have been writing to the leadership.”
Abdullahi also pointed out that Wike’s statement about “putting fire in their states” about PDP governors is wrong and unacceptable, adding that “Wike should be able to manage his words carefully; that was a very disappointing remark. We weren’t expecting him to say that, and to be honest with you, we are not with him on that.”
