The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has criticized Adolphus Wabara, former Senate President and Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT), accusing him of fueling the party’s internal crisis.
During a media chat in Abuja on Sunday, Wike expressed frustration over the actions of some PDP leaders, blaming them for the party’s stagnation.
He particularly condemned attempts to remove Acting National Chairman Umar Damagum and National Secretary Sam Anyanwu, despite court rulings.
According to Wike, “If Wabara were my father, I would have disowned him. He doesn’t deserve to be a leader. No wonder Obasanjo made a presidential broadcast about his acts of corruption.
“It doesn’t bother me at all. The matter is in the hands of the courts, and the party constitution is clear.
“If they resign, they must be replaced through elections. The fact that someone is trying to bypass this process doesn’t surprise me.
“Some people are trying to manipulate the situation, but it will not succeed. The matter is in the courts, and we should respect the rule of law. We need to focus on resolving issues within the party, particularly with the upcoming convention.
“Instead of stoking crises, the convention should take place as scheduled in December, and we should usher in a new executive.”
