The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has vowed to sanction the
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike for working against
the party.
PDP Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, disclosed this
at a news conference in Abuja on Tuesday.
Damagum’s remark followed the crisis in Rivers State between
Wike and Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The face-off between the duo had led to 25 PDP lawmakers in
the state defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
About seven commissioners have also resigned their
appointments.
Aggrieved by rift over the control of political structure
and finances in the state, President Bola Tinubu had made the duo sign a peace
accord after a meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Meanwhile, during the 2023 presidential election, Wike and
the G-5 governors had worked against PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku
Abubakar.
While Wike worked for President Bola Tinubu, former governor
Samuel Ortom of Benue State worked for Labour Party’s Peter Obi; Governor Seyi
Makinde of Oyo State also worked for Tinubu.
However, Damagum said all PDP members working against the
interest of the party will be sanctioned.
He said: “We are not unmindful of the fact that it’s not
only Wike; there are other people that have also worked against his party.
“When we get to that level, we will sanction everybody. If
Wike believes he is above this party, we will show him he is not above this
party.”
