Obinna Nwachukwu, the CP-PDP described the gathering as \u201cthe feeble kick of a dying partisan group,\u201d accusing Wike and his associates of serving as agents of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in a bid to destabilize and weaken the PDP ahead of the 2027 general elections.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The group also described the Wike-led group as\u00a0 \u201cTinubu Support Group,\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0The CP-PDP stated that the former Rivers State Governor no longer commands the loyalty of credible PDP stakeholders and is now \u201csurrounded by expired, feeding bottle politicians who have been roundly rejected by their own people as demonstrated in their disgraceful defeat in the 2023 elections\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The group insisted that the PDP has moved beyond the internal wranglings of the past and is now focused on rebuilding, following the party\u2019s successful 99th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held on May 27, 2025.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;The FCT Minister and his group, which is best described as &#8216;Tinubu Support Group,&#8217; must accept the reality that the train has since left the station; the PDP is ascending in new trajectory focusing on taking back power in 2027 in the collective interest of all Nigerians and no amount of ranting from unpatriotic and disgruntled individuals or groups can sway this resolve,\u201d the statement read.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">CP-PDP further questioned Wike\u2019s continued interference in PDP affairs despite what it claims is a clear forfeiture of his membership due to his public disloyalty and failure to uphold the party\u2019s code of conduct.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Moreover, is it not appalling that an individual who is neither an official nor a member of the PDP having lost membership upon open cessation of subscription, loyalty and adherence to the mandatory Code of Conduct of members is grandstanding in an unstructured group and attempting to pontificate and sound off on the activities of our party?\u201d it added.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Having lost the following of genuine and respected PDP members, the FCT Minister is now surrounded by expired, feeding bottle politicians who have been roundly rejected by their own people as demonstrated in their disgraceful defeat in the 2023 elections,\u201d the statement reiterated.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The CP-PDP emphasized that no sincere PDP member would seek to undermine the party\u2019s chances in 2027, especially considering the \u201cpains and agony that Nigerians are passing through in the hands of the APC.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;In any event, the FCT Minister should come to terms with the fact that the PDP is not the appendage of, or the Ministry of the FCT where his boss, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed him to oversee. We again counsel the FCT Minister to leave the PDP alone and stay with his allies in the APC where he has openly pitched his political tent,&#8221; the statement concluded.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The group reaffirmed that the PDP remains strong and united, with preparations already underway for a successful National Convention in August. The focus, it said, is on building a formidable coalition to unseat the APC and restore responsible governance in 2027. Wike camp, as at the time of filing this report had not responded.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Oscar Okhifo The Conference of Professionals in the Peoples Democratic Party (CP-PDP) has strongly criticized the stakeholders\u2019 meeting convened in Abuja by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":102966,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>PDP Group Slam Wike Over Stakeholders&#039;
