“PDP may suspend Wike” — Insider

Umar Sani, the Senior Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to former Vice President Namadi Sambo, has hinted that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may take disciplinary action against the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.

This revelation comes amid ongoing discussions within the party regarding adherence to its core values and principles.

Sani indicated that the party is closely monitoring Wike’s recent activities and statements, which have raised concerns among party leadership.

He emphasized that the PDP is committed to maintaining unity and discipline among its members, suggesting that any actions taken will reflect the party’s dedication to upholding its standards and ensuring that all representatives align with its objectives.

Speaking on Arise TV’s Morning Show, Sani elaborated that no committee was in place at the time of Wike’s alleged infractions.

He clarified that the absence of a disciplinary committee during that period made it challenging to address the concerns surrounding Wike’s actions effectively.

Sani emphasized that the party’s leadership is committed to ensuring that all members adhere to the party’s guidelines and regulations, but the lack of an established committee hindered the process of reviewing and responding to the alleged infractions.

He reassured viewers that the PDP is taking the matter seriously and is in the process of organizing a committee to address these issues moving forward, reinforcing the party’s commitment to accountability and discipline among its ranks.

He, however, noted that with the recent formation of a disciplinary committee led by Chief Tom Ikimi, the party might consider taking action against those violating the party’s rules.

Sani said: “The issue has been oversimplified, with many framing it as a clash between Abubakar Atiku and Nyesom Wike.

“But the real driving force is the Governors’ Forum, which had been dormant but has now awakened. The Forum is actively working to resolve the crisis.

“While a court order may prevent the removal of officials, it does not stop the party from suspending members or imposing discipline.

“There was no disciplinary committee when Wike allegedly violated party rules.

“Now that we have a committee in place, let’s give them time to do their job before assuming Wike is above party rules. Let’s see if they recommend disciplinary action against him.”
