The Progressives Pillars, a group in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), is fighting to keep the party from âvampiresâ.
Recall that on Saturday, February 22, the south-south zone of the PDP re-elected Dan Orbih, an ally of Wike, as its chairman, but Debo Ologunagba, PDP spokesperson, disowned the congress, insisting the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party was not involved in the exercise.
This had led to further polarisation of the opposition party as different factions attempts to take control of the party structure.
Speaking after a meeting on Saturday in Abuja, Samuel Obande, leader of the group, commended Wike for his commitment to the growth and continual formidable existence of the PDP.
Obande said Wike has done outstandingly well in uniting the party and bringing together all discordant tunes.
He described Wike as a straightforward leader capable of bringing the PDP out from its present quagmire.
As reported by The Cable, the group said it is also in support of Samuel Anyanwu, the embattled PDP national secretary.
Obande said the group is seeking the face of God and his intervention through prayers for Anyanwu.
TimesNow.com.ng recalled that Dele Momodu, publisher of Ovation Magazine, said Nyesom Wike, is yet to recover from his defeat during the presidential primary of the PDP in 2022.
He added that Atiku Abubakar’s victory in the PDP primaries, with 371 votes, left Wike really disappointed, contributing to the party’s defeat in the 2023 presidential election.

Meanwhile, TimesNow.com.ng reported that the PDP national secretary seat became more heated as Anyanwu, an ally of Wike wrote to the Supreme Court.
Anyanwu, who is standing as the national secretary by appeal court restraining order, said he wrote to the Supreme Court because of his love for the party.
The embattled PDP national secretary was asking the apex court to speed up its judgment on the crisis that was rocking his seat.
