Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, has kicked against the
suspension of Ayo Fayose, former governor of Ekiti, and other suspended members
of the party.
Recall that the national working committee of the PDP
suspended Fayose, Anyim Pius Anyim, former secretary to the government of the
federation, Ibrahim Shema, former governor of Katsina, Dennis Ityavyar (Benue),
and Aslam Aliyu (Zamfara) over alleged anti-party activities.
The PDP also asked Samuel Ortom, governor of Benue, to
appear before a disciplinary committee over the same allegation.
Speaking on Thursday night in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers, Wike said the PDP NWC led by Iyorchia Ayu cannot suspend members because he (Ayu) is guilty of the same allegation when the party abandoned zoning under his leadership.
Wike said Ortom would not appear before the party’s national
disciplinary committee.
Wike said referring a governor to a national disciplinary
committee is the “height of all insults and we will not take it”.
“Ayu and Sam Anyanwu, the national secretary, and other
members of the NWC cannot suspend Ayo Fayose not to talk about referring
governor Ortom to a national disciplinary committee,” he said.
“Governor Ortom who
has stood firm for the unity of this country, governor Ortom who has come out
openly to say that Nigeria must be one is not the type you will say you’ll
refer to that your kangaroo committee.
“If there is any person deserving suspension it should be
you (Ayu), who played anti-party by refusing to obey the constitution of the
party on the zoning of political offices as is required. So, whoever tells you
can suspend people, please tell the person that he is not serious.
“If you are talking of anti-party, it is you who could not
even deliver your unit, deliver your ward that is involved. Because of the
fraudulent activities you are involved in, people have lost hope in you. That
is why you cannot win your unit, win your ward.
“You cannot cage any of us (G5). Ortom will not appear
before any of your so-called disciplinary committees. Ayodele Fayose will also
never appear before any disciplinary committee.”
Ortom is a member of the G5 — a group of five governors in
the PDP.
