The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has disclosed that it would act against the open romance with the All Progressives Congress (APC), and the anti-party activities of the former Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike.
The APC, on Tuesday, named Wike as a member of its campaign council for the 2023 Governorship Elections for Bayelsa, Kogi and Imo states.
Meanwhile, the PDP, on August 2nd, 2023, named him as a member of its National Campaign Council for the same set of elections.
Though the PDP has not officially made a statement on the matter, a leader of the party, who chose to remain anonymously, told Vanguard that the PDP would act at the appropriate time.
According to him, the party would take a stand on Wike’s case after the Presidential Election Tribunal Judgement.
“We don’t want to make our party all about Wike and his unending tantrums.
“We are all aware about his love for attention so we’ve decided to ignore him in the hope he will avail himself of the opportunity of our efforts to reconcile aggrieved members.
“While we are open to reconciling, I don’t see the party turning a blind eye to his numerous infractions when the Presidential Election Petition Court gives its judgement on our pending case before it.
“This is the same man who went to court to get an injunction restraining the party from suspending, expelling or taking action against him for his open infringement of our party’s constitution.
“It is now clear for every one to see that his insistence on remaining on our party register as member is simply to do the bidding of the ruling party.
“This cannot continue, something has to give and I’m sure as soon as the election tribunal concludes its assignment our party will take a definite stand,” the source said.
