No one is above the party – PDP warns Wike

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has issued a stern warning to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, asserting that no individual is above the party.

This caution follows Wike’s threat directed at PDP governors who have attempted to influence the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State.

Wike had warned that he would “put fire” in the state if any governor tried to take over his political structure in Rivers and transfer it to Governor Sim Fubara.

This threat underscores the escalating tensions between Wike and Fubara, who are at odds over control of the political structure in Rivers State.

But, cautioning PDP’s governors to stay away, Wike had said: “Let me assure all of you, not while we live will anybody take away the structure of the PDP from us. But let me tell people, I hear some governors who say they will take over the structure and give it back to somebody.”

Reacting at a press conference in Abuja, Ologunagba said: ”What I can tell you is that nobody is above this party. It is the Peoples Democratic Party.

“What we have done is set up bodies (reconciliation and disciplinary committees) and given them the mandate to do the job. We will wait for their report.

“What we know is that nobody is above this party, and we must take that to heart. It’s like justice: the wheel of justice grinds slowly but ultimately grinds well.

“We urge our governors to do what is necessary to ensure stability in their states. The only way they can achieve stability is through performance. If you compare PDP governors with governors from other parties, you will find that PDP governors are clearly oases of development.”
