In an open letter to the PDP leadership delivered in Abuja on Tuesday, August 20, Clark strongly criticised Wike for allegedly using his connections with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to weaken the PDP, Daily Trust reported.
He further accused Wike of exerting undue influence on his successor, Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Despite Wikeâs insistence on staying with the PDP after losing the last presidential primary to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Clark argued that Wikeâs actions have been harmful to the party.
Addressing Damagum, Clark voiced his frustration over Wikeâs alleged harassment of Governor Fubara and condemned the PDP leadership for failing to act, The Punch reported.
He said:
Clark also accused the former Rivers governor of hypocrisy for criticising former Governors Bello Matawalle, Dave Umahi, and Ben Ayade when they defected to the APC, while now aligning himself with the ruling party.
Clark condemned Wikeâs actions as a deliberate attempt to destabilise the PDP from within, asserting that Wikeâs recent moves are aimed at undermining the Rivers State government.
He also accused Damagum and PDP National Secretary Senator Samuel Anyanwu of being complicit in Wikeâs disruptive activities, suggesting they are sabotaging the partyâs legal efforts against defected lawmakers from Rivers State.
Clark urged the party to establish a probe committee to investigate these actions and take necessary measures.
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has contested for the president several times, adding that it was time for him to drop his ambition and allow the party to decide its direction.
Ibrahim Abdullahi, the deputy national publicity secretary of the party, commented while supporting the call for former President Goodluck Jonathan to run against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
