The crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is far from over as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barrister Nyesom Wike has announced his withdrawal from all previous peace agreements. Wike alluded that his decision was based on persistent betrayal and dishonesty from key party figures, specifically pointing fingers at the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In a statement released Sunday titled “PDP Crisis: My Position,” Wike described Makinde as the architect of the party\u2019s problems due to his alleged repeated breaches of agreements. I have now firmly decided to pull out of all agreements hitherto reached. I have decided to fight on until justice is attained,\u201d Wike asserted.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The controversial politician accused governors Makinde of Oyo and Peter Mbah of Enugu States of\u00a0 undermining the agreed terms by pushing for Ude Okoye to replace Anyanwu and organizing unauthorised National Executive Committee (NEC) meetings.<\/div>\n
However, Wike claims these agreements were quickly violated.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He cited thus: \u201cTo my chagrin, Makinde connived with Peter Mba\u2026 to recommend that if Ude Okoye was not adopted as Secretary, they would pull out of the PDP,\u201d Wike revealed. He added that such actions have led to further disarray within the party, including the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) refusing to attend the party\u2019s zonal congress in Jos due to procedural irregularities.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wike emphasised his long-standing loyalty to the PDP since 1998, stressing that his frustration is not driven by personal ambition but by a desire for the party to uphold integrity and respect its internal agreements.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI have worked tirelessly for the survival of this party\u2026 yet those I helped into office are the ones breaking the trust,\u201d he lamented.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wike further detailed a series of meetings, from a G5 gathering in Lagos to broader consultations at former Senate President Bukola Saraki\u2019s Abuja guest house.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
These meetings, according to Wike, \u201cresulted in clear resolutions, including the affirmation of Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the PDP’s National Secretary, in line with a Supreme Court judgment, and the withdrawal of all legal matters affecting Rivers State.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wike’s public denunciation of these alleged violations puts the party’s peace efforts in jeopardy considering a significant fracture within the PDP’s leadership, especially as the party prepares for upcoming electoral challenges. His withdrawal from the peace talks and a vow to “fight on” suggest a turbulent road ahead for the opposition party.<\/div>\n
