Wike no longer a member of our party, says PDP Deputy National Youth leader

A member of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Timothy Osadolor, has said FCT minister Nyesom Wike had already left the party.

Osadolor, the PDP Deputy National Youth leader, added that the former Rivers state governor’s actions indicated that he is no longer a party member.

He said, “The truth is that Wike has technically left the PDP. When last did you see him in any PDP function? Even the crisis he is having in his state is because of the structure of the party and the loyalty of party leaders. You can also see the relationship between him and his governor.

“His anti-party activities are part of the problem he is having with his governor. So, if from his own state he cannot function in the party, and at the NWC level, he cannot function, you don’t need any news to know that the man is out of the party.

“To say that Wike is no longer a member of the party, especially when he has also claimed leadership of the APC in his state, is just over-flogging what is already obvious. No matter how he continues to say that he is a member of the PDP, the reality on ground and his actions state something else.

“I think Nigerians should not take him too seriously because the man is given to double-speak. Wike has left the party, and that is the truth.

“In Rivers, for example, there can only be one leader of the party, and that is the state governor. For us, the governor has given us assurances that he can manage the affairs of the party in the state, and that is what we know and believe as a party,” Osadolor told Daily Trust.
