The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has made it clear that he will not allow any interference in the Peoples Democratic Party structure in Rivers State.
Former Governor Wike has warned that he will create political turmoil in any state whose governor tries to meddle in the affairs of the PDP in Rivers.
During a meeting of PDP governors in Taraba State on August 23, the governors expressed their support for Governor Siminalayi Fubara amidst the crisis in the party in Rivers. They called for a review of the party congress outcome to reinstate Fubara’s leadership in the state.
Speaking at the PDP Secretariat in Port Harcourt during the state congress, Wike urged the PDP governors to refrain from getting involved in Rivers’ party affairs.
He stated, “I will not allow anyone to take away the PDP structure from us. If any governor tries to interfere, I will take action. I have the capacity to do the same in their states.”
The Rivers PDP has been facing internal conflicts, particularly between Wike and his predecessor, who was absent from the congress.
In attendance at the congress were current and former lawmakers, council chairmen, and other party members. Wike’s message was clear: any attempt to disrupt the PDP structure in Rivers will not be tolerated.
