Chief Segun Sowunmi, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has declared that the biggest challenge the party currently faces is Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Wike, the immediate past governor of Rivers state is a PDP chieftain but serves in the Bola Tinubu-led All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.
Speaking to New Telegraph, Sowunmi said: ”I think that is the biggest elephant in our room and that is the biggest challenge that we have in the PDP because as it is now, the major polarising issue in our party is that.
The former governor of River State is still a member of the PDP in the eyes of the world. Even when he says he is a member of the party, is his spirit, body and soul still in the party?
”Because of past experiences, people are scared but to say that the country has never had a situation where somebody has been in a party and serving another party in government is wrong.
”When late Chief Bola Ige served in the PDP government of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, he was a member of the AD and when he was about to leave the government then, he was still a member of the AD.
”So, there is precedence to some of these things. Because we had a situation like that in the past doesn’t mean that we have to be stuck with that. All of these and even more are the issues.
”In any case, there is a disciplinary committee in place as we speak; anyone who has tangible basis to establish any form of infraction against anybody should present it to the disciplinary committee and we will have to see how it goes.
