PDP summons Wike over alleged anti-party activities

Main opposition Peoples Democratic Party has summoned the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, over alleged anti-party activities.

Already, he has been asked to appear before a disciplinary committee.

PDP Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Ibrahim Abdullahi, made this known while featuring on an disclosed in an interview programme on Channels TV on Monday.

Abdullahi said the disciplinary committee had written Wike a letter of invitation to appear over his recent comments about the party.

He said the FCT minister’s statement about “putting fire in their states” concerning PDP governors intervening in the crisis in Rivers State, is unacceptable.

Abdullahi said, “Wike should be able to manage his words carefully; that was a very disappointing remark. We weren’t expecting him to say that, and we are not with him on that, to be honest with you.”

This is coming hours after Wike vowed to continue to serve under President Bola Tinubu, despite the criticisms and speculations surrounding his appointment.

The FCT minister declared that anyone angry with his position in Tinubu’s government should go and hug any nearby electric transformer.
