FCT, Abuja – Chijioke Ihunwo, the chairperson of Obio-Akpor local government area (LGA) of Rivers state, has challenged the national working committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to suspend Nyesom Wike, the minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), over alleged anti-party activities.
TimesNow.com.ng reports that the PDP’s NWC is one of the highest decision-making organs of the party.
In a recent post on his known X (formerly Twitter) handle, Ihunwo said the PDP NWC should sanction Wike to prove that they have not collected bribes from the minister.
Ihunwo, who doubles as the chairman of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Rivers state chapter, wrote:
TimesNow.com.ng reports that governance in Rivers state has been notably affected for months due to the ongoing political conflict between Wike and Governor Siminalayi Fubara, both of whom are PDP chieftains.
The feud has caused a split within the state house of assembly, with a faction led by Martin Amaewhule supporting Wike, while the other faction, led by Victor Oko-Jumbo, is loyal to Fubara.
Despite President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s mediation, the conflict persists, with the factions engaging in legal disputes in Port Harcourt and Abuja courts.
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that the PDP summoned Wike over alleged anti-party activities.
Ibrahim Abdullahi, the PDP deputy national publicity secretary, disclosed this during an interview.
