'It's not only Wike' - PDP vows to punish FCT Minister, others over 2023 election defeat at the right time

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says it will soon strike Nyesom Wike and those who worked against the party during the electioneering period at the appropriate time.

This was made known by PDP National Chairman, Umar Damagum in a press conference on Tuesday, December 19.

The largest opposition party also criticized President Bola Tinubu's interference in the ongoing political stand-off in Rivers State, insisting that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) must conduct elections to fill the seats of 27 lawmakers who defected from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Damagum said, “PDP demands that in line with Section 109, and Section 84 (15) of the Electoral Act 2022 fix a date for the conduct of election in the 25 constituencies in Rivers State where vacancies have occurred by the reason of the defection of the now former members pending the determination of any suit in court.”

“We are not unmindful of the fact that it’s not only Wike; there are other people that have also worked against his party. When we get to that level, we will sanction everybody. If Wike believes he is above this party, we will show him he is not above this party.”
