A group under the aegis of the PDP Frontiers for Change and Progress, has slammed the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, NyesomWike, saying he is the real betrayer and architect of the crisis bedeviling the party.
The group urged the minister to honourably leave PDP instead of staying behind to cause confusion, accusing him of standing truth in the head and playing to the gallery.
The group was reacting to Wike’s allegation that Governor SeyiMakinde of Oyo State, and his Enugu State counterpart, Peter Mbah, were betrayers and the architects of the party’s protracted crisis.
Thereports saidthat Wike had in a strong-worded statement on Sunday, announced his pullout from all ‘gentleman agreements’ on how to resolve the party’s leadership tussles, vowing to fight to finish.
In the statement, Wike had claimed that Makinde and Mbah made reconciliation of the party’s crisis impossible, accusing the duo of reneging in a purported agreement earlier reached by key stakeholders.
The former Rivers State governor said the stakeholders had earlier agreed that Senator Samuel Anyanwu be retained as the PDP’s National Secretary, and that all suits against the Rivers’ emergency rule be withdrawn, conditions he accused Makinde and Mbah of violating.
However, the PDP support group, in a swift reaction, accused Wike of being smart by half, and mounting smear campaign to blackmail Mbah and Makinde.
National Coordinator of the group, Emeka Yellow Ikpegbu, expressed surprise that Wike who he alleged had been the APC mole in PDP, could accuse genuine and committed stakeholders of what himself is guilty of.
According to Ikpegbu, Wike and his boot-lickers dragging the leadership of PDP in some of the states are the destabilising forces on a mission to sink the party.
”Instead of masquerading as a peace maker while he is the one igniting the fire, Wike should better leave PDP.
“Wike should stop pretending. We know his spirit has since left PDP after sabotaging the party in 2023. Now is the time to completely pull out of the party, and not just pulling out of the so-called gentleman agreement. We want him to also pull out of the PDP He has given us enough discomfort,” Ikpegbu said.
