\nAhead of 2027 general election and loss of\u00a0 key chieftains of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) former governor\u00a0 of\u00a0 Rivrrs state and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barr.Nyesom Wike, has convened a meeting with key stakeholders of PDP to discuss the party’s future.<\/p>\n
The meeting, attended by former governors, senators, and lawmakers, aimed at\u00a0 finding solutions to the party’s challenges.<\/p>\n
Wike questioned the excessive focus on the national secretary position, citing examples of party members who have held positions while contesting for other offices.<\/p>\n
He mentioned Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba State, who resigned as PDP chairman after winning the governorship election.<\/p>\n
Wike emphasized that the stakeholders present are committed to the party’s survival, unlike those who only talk about it on TV or in newspapers.<\/p>\n
He stressed the importance of respecting the party’s constitution and the country’s laws.<\/p>\n
Wike highlighted the role of the G5 governors in stabilizing the country, saying that their decision-making has prevented crisis.<\/p>\n
He urged the party to prioritize unity and avoid letting greed and ego dictate its actions.<\/p>\n
“All of you here are those who are committed to the survival of our party not just on TV talking or on the newspapers talking but committed to the party at the various levels’.<\/p>\n
“Today, this country is stabilized because of the activities of the G5 Governors. You may like us you may hate us. The truth of the matter is if G5 did not take the decision we took, this country would have been in crisis.<\/p>\n
It doesn’t matter who the beneficiary was but the right thing had to be done and we still stand by that decision.<\/p>\n
“If the party had listened to what we said, we won’t have been where we are today and we have continued to sound it to the party, let the constitution of the party and of the country be respected. That, as an opposition party, we cannot continue to act with impunity. No opposition party acts with impunity. Ours is to continue to placate people and bring them together, not to say that they should go to hell.<\/p>\n
“Let us not allow greed, let us not allow ego to kill out party”.<\/p>\n
On his part, Former Governor Samuel Ortom praised Wike’s contributions to the PDP’s growth, stabilizing anyone to claim they have done more for the party. Ortom noted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s appointment of Wike as FCT minister acknowledges his importance.<\/p>\n
The meeting is expected to issue a communique, with stakeholders discussing ways to revitalize the party. The outcome may provide insight into the party’s future direction and potential solutions to its challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
