The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has found itself in a fresh controversy following the suspension of Dino Melaye for alleged anti-party activities, while promoting Nyesom Wike as the leader of PDP Rivers State......See Full Story>>.....See Full Story>>
This move has raised eyebrows, with many questioning the party’s decision to reward Wike, who has been accused of working against the party’s interests.
According to reports, Wike’s endorsement by the party’s National Working Committee was a result of his threats to “put fire” in states that refused to pledge allegiance to him.
This development has sparked outrage, with many calling out the party for being “spineless and disorganized.”
The crisis in Rivers State has been brewing since 2023, with Wike and Governor Sim Fubara engaged in a bitter struggle for control of the state.
The dispute allegedly began when Wike demanded 25% of the state’s total allocation, amounting to N106.71bn.
Fubara’s refusal led to Wike throwing tantrums, with the governor offering a compromise of 10% (N42.684bn), which Wike rejected.
As one Twitter user noted, “PDP is a joke! They suspend Dino Melaye for being loyal, but promote Wike who has done more harm to the party. What a shame!”
The controversy has sparked a heated debate, with many questioning the party’s leadership and decision-making process.
As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear – the PDP’s handling of the crisis has left much to be desired.
