PDP BoT, Wike in Closed-Door Meeting

Posted by Thandiubani on Wed 18th Sep, 2024 - tori.ng

Recall that Wike has been at loggerheads with his successor over control of the party structure in the state.

 
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike has met with members of the Peoples Democratic Party Board of Trustees.
 
Wike met with the Senator Adolphus Wabara-led Board of Trustees on Tuesday night, according to Punch.
 
Recall that in August, the BoT had written to Wike, seeking a meeting to resolve the lingering crisis in the party, especially in Rivers state, days after meeting with the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
 
However, journalists were barred from the meeting, which is ongoing as of the time of filing the report.
 
Wike has been at loggerheads with his successor over control of the party structure in the state, prompting the minister to say he will never support the governor again in his political life.
 
The PDP governors had recently tagged the former Rivera governor a “mole” in the party, a claim the minsiter rejected in totality in a recent television interview.
 
However, the acting National Chairman of the party, IIiya Umar Damagum, recently handed over the party’s structure in Rivers State to Wike. With the action of the NWC, Wike has become the party’s leader in Rivers, contrary to the tradition of political parties.
