Wike Still Untouchable? PDP Under Fire for Inaction

Wike Still Untouchable? PDP Under Fire for Inaction

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is facing intense criticism over its reluctance to discipline the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, following his open confession of working against the party during the 2023 presidential election.

Oladimeji Fabiyi, a former Director of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council, expressed disappointment in the party’s leadership, describing it as weak and too cozy with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking during an interview on Arise News on Monday, Fabiyi stated that the PDP has been in turmoil since the 2023 elections and has failed to hold disloyal members accountable.

“We have leadership that is not responsible. They should be doing better than this. It’s all over the news,” he said.

According to him, the party’s inability to discipline members who openly undermined its presidential campaign, despite setting up a reconciliation committee, exposes a failure in leadership.

“People committed serious offences. Where is the report of the reconciliation committee? What have they done?” he queried.

Wike, alongside four other governors, had openly opposed PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and instead backed APC’s Bola Tinubu, who eventually emerged victorious.

Fabiyi argued that Wike’s continued relevance in the party, despite admitting to anti-party activities, highlights the weakness of the current leadership.

“Why has Minister Wike not been sanctioned after confessing to working against the PDP? He’s still holding a key position today.”

He also slammed the PDP Governors’ Forum, calling it a gathering of compromise rather than a platform for strategic decisions.

“To me, the governors’ forum is no longer about strategy. Party members expected them to tackle pressing issues head-on, but nothing has changed.”

Fabiyi did not hold back in calling for a complete overhaul of the PDP leadership.

“I’ve lost confidence in the current National Working Committee (NWC). They’ve failed the party and must step aside for PDP to move forward.”

On reconciliation efforts, he questioned the credibility of former Senate President Bukola Saraki, stating:

“Reconciliation is Saraki’s project, but I have my reservations. He abandoned the North Central when they needed him most. So to me, it’s all a joke. We must be honest if we truly want to fix the party.”
