PRESS RELEASE - SEPTEMBER 3, 2024

NYESOM WIKE'S STATEMENTS AND THREATS ARE UNBRIDLED, IRRESPONSIBLE, AND UNACCEPTABLE - PDP GOVERNORS

The attention of the Peoples Democratic Party Governors' Forum (PDP-GF) under the chairmanship of H.E. Senator Bala Abdulkarim Mohamed (CON) and Governor of Bauchi State and all the member-Governors has been drawn to a widely circulating news story in which the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, H.E. Barrister Nyesom Wike, former Governor of Rivers State, made scathing and threatening comments regarding member-Governors of the Forum and notes the significant concerns that has been raised in the public space regarding the unity and peaceful coexistence within our party.

2. The statements and threats to peaceful coexistence made by Wike to "Put fire" in the PDP controlled States are unbridled, irresponsible and without ambiguity totally unacceptable as it undermines efforts to build and maintain peace, cohesion, collaboration and mutual respect amongst leaders and of the party. It is rather unfortunate that this is coming from someone who was once a member of this highly revered forum as a former governor.

3 The Forum has always maintained "A TOUCH ONE TOUCH ALL" philosophy and individually and collectively stand by and each other no matter the circumstances. A tradition Wike tremendously enjoyed in his days of travail as governor. Thus, we therefore maintain that our position on the affairs of the PDP in Rivers State, as unanimously resolved at our 2024, 3rd and 4th Meetings held in Enugu and Taraba States respectively are not subject to review by any individual no matter how highly placed.

4. We wish to emphasize that neither is the position of the Forum personal nor does it by any stretch of the imagination undermine the relevance of any stakeholder in the party. Rather, as loyal party faithful, of the Forum remain committed to that pristine practice that was intended to guarantee order, eliminate conflicting centres of loyalty epitomised by the situation in Rivers State and guard against distracting the Governor in the prosecution of his mandate. Wike benefitted wholly from that arrangement.

5. We are irrevocably committed to working with the National Working Committee (NWC) of our great party, the PDP, in ensuring that Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State is conferred with all the privileges he is entitled to as a Governor elected on the platform of our party, both at the state and national levels

6. Our undiluted commitment to the unity of our party is paramount. The PDP has always been a party that values unity and collective progress. The recent actions of the governors, including their for Governor Fubara, reflect their dedication to these values. It is crucial for all party , including Wike, to work together towards common goals rather than pursuing personal vendettas.

7. The Forum insists that it is incumbent on the National Working Committee of the PDP to invoke both official provisions and unofficial good offices platforms to find an amicable solution to the crisis in its Rivers State chapter. Similarly, if indeed the larger interests of Rivers State is their individual motivation, the warring parties should allow themselves to be guided by a spirit of give and take and eschewing, at all times, the incendiary posturing that inflames ions among their followers.

8. It is inevitable for us to encourage dialogue and reconciliation continuously. The PDP has established mechanisms for addressing grievances and resolving conflicts, such as the recently constituted disciplinary and reconciliation committees; thus it is important for Wike to engage with these processes constructively, as dialogue and reconciliation are the pathways to resolving differences and strengthening the party.

9. The Forum calls on the heads of the national security apparatuses to take note of threats by Wike to stoke the fire of violence at the sub-nationals as no one is above the laws of the land.

Wike a 🐀 claiming to give birth to an 🐘. How can FCT Minister threaten to deal with PDP Governors?

Wotowoto na it wike don cook for himself .. when one greedy individual decide to chop food prepared for a community alone.. e go chop collapse

Wike is like Tinubu...Men so big they cant be brought down


Wike is what Atiku once thought he was

As for Fubara, aside those 1km roads that he commisioned twice, he's not being doing anything at all

We go see their scorecard for 2027. Tears galore

If Nigeria is not a joke and her security apparatuses a compendium of the works of Mr Ibu (May God rest his soul), how can Wike make terrorist threats and still be walking a freeman let alone a member of the FEC?

how people promised to make a certain regime ungovernable, how the blood of the baboon soaked the street

Ameachi was also famous for the "Parallel government" statement. Today, he's not a part of any known government.

I dunno the kind of Ogogoro our Rivers brothers are taking ooo. But it is not just bad for their kidneys, it has wrecked their brains.

Fubara is a certified failure

16 months in power, nothing to show.

Imagine where the likes of Wike would be if Nigeria was China. 😐

Lolz

Like always trending for wrong reason.
Keep your tactics to yourself and stop attracting enemies from all.corners

Egbe werey
Egbe Asetani
Yeye Party

Shior..

Lol

Wike's statements are just the tip of the iceberg.

PDP is heading towards a tsunami of crisis

While is PDP afraid of wike that they cannot suspend him,

Only those who believe are sure of winning.

Keep believing!!!

I think the major problem with our major political parties is this culture of a governor being the leader of the party in a state.When you say a governor should be the leader of a party in a state,you automatically tells him to fund the party from the treasury of a state.

We must put an end to this nonsense of governors funding political parties, that's why there is no popular participation in our political parties.The leader of a party in a state should be state party chairman,and party levies,and donations from wealthy ers.

Whp will tame this uncultured attention caller (through barking)wicked wike?

Wike is proud and full of himself. But his saving grace is that he's a wonderful performer. Both in Rivers and in Abuja anything he touches turns to gold. If he wasn't a performer by now he would have been thrown out like a piece of rag, thrown out by even Tinubu himself. I wish Lagos has this kind of governor. Fix all the major roads and infrastructure and drainages and I'll tolerate your excesses.

In my new Nigeria, we will have less Powerful individuals but Powerful Institutions...


We are warming up.

"The Forum has always maintained "A TOUCH ONE TOUCH ALL" philosophy and individually and collectively stand by and each other no matter the circumstances."

No be from una forum Wike dey when he contested the PDP ticket, Una sure say you stood by him

No be una same forum the famous G-5 come from

So, what Unity Una dey talk about




Make Una stop blabbing...Just suspend him

Simple!

PDP is just not serious. What's Wike still doing in the party? If they get balls, they should show him the exit door immediately. The guy worked against the party during the presidential election just for a reward of minister. Isn't this enough to show that he is a selfish fool who only cares about himself alone. He knows that those elders in PDP are alatenuje who can be bribed with little. They should send him away from the party so that he can APC properly

I just came to Post.................


SEUN OSEWA is an eeedddiiioottt 😡❌😡😡❌

Delete my !!!

Since you will not Allow us to Permanently Deactivate our Useless Nairaland .

I will continue calling you and Eeedddiiioottt and a Basssttaarrrddd if you don't Delete this . Same goes to all your s

PDP governors are bunch of clowns. Can the governor of Akwa Ibom State challenge Wike? Thieves!!

Umo Eno, stop leaving under the shadows of Udom Emmanuel and Godswill Akpabio in pretence that you don't want to create enemies .

Oga, we the good people of Akwa Ibom State knows that you are threading carefully because of the eligibility of your WAEC results but let me tell you that your cowardice is causing lots of hunger and unemployment in the state.

If you are not careful, going back to the Hill Mansion will be tough one for you.

Bò ifiòk obong-owo

War start...we are watching ..fingers cross

DeeGov123:

People like wike you just allow them destroy themselves

It's normal... He would self destruct just give him time

This is just noise. There is nothing governors forum can do. And they know it. Fubara you are on your own.

Wike will eventually be humbled it's a matter of time.

This comic dance by PDP is giving everyone a reason to watch it fool itself away.
Wike is dispensable. If PDP thinks he's not, then they should treat him that way and face the looming consequences.

Wike's matter is the topic for this week.
