PDP govs lose as NWC hands Wike Rivers control

The Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has solidified his position in the Peoples Democratic Party leadership crisis as the National Working Committee endorsed the Rivers State congresses.

Wike’s loyalists within the PDP NWC not only secured the approval but also postponed the National Executive Committee meeting, originally set for September 26, to October 24, which could have overturned the decision.

The PDP NWC, led by acting National Chairman Umar Damagum, made this decision during a meeting at the party’s national headquarters, Wadata Plaza, in Abuja on Thursday.

The NWC meeting had been delayed for the past three weeks amid rising tension within the party, especially between former Rivers State governor Wike and the PDP Governors Forum over the status of Rivers State party congresses.

The political conflict between Wike and current Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, escalated on August 24 when PDP governors publicly backed Fubara.

PDP governors called for a review of the Rivers State Congresses and affirmed Fubara’s role as the leader of the PDP in the state.

This for Fubara enraged Wike, who on August 31 threatened to create chaos in the governors’ states if they did not refrain from interfering in Rivers State matters.

In response, on September 3, the PDP Governors’ Forum condemned Wike’s threat as irresponsible.

A senior NWC member, speaking anonymously due to lack of authorisation, revealed that the approval of the Rivers and other state congresses was granted, and the NEC meeting had been rescheduled to October 24.

The NEC meeting, originally set for August to address burning issues, including Damagum’s replacement, was first moved to September 26 because some were travelling to Saudi Arabia for pilgrimage. It has now been rescheduled to October 24.

The source stated, “They have achieved their aim. Wike has again defeated the PDP governors as the NWC approved the Rivers and other states’ congresses. There was nothing a few NWC who were against it could do other than allow them to have their way. As it stands, only the NEC can overturn it to suit the governors’ demands.

“The Rivers State Congresses and those of other states were approved by the NWC. A few states where issues were identified were stepped down. For example, in Kogi, the Chairman and Deputy were not approved due to anomalies.

“Only the NEC can overturn the NWC’s decision on Rivers and other states. However, the NEC meeting, originally slated for September 26, has been postponed to October 24, which may not hold on that date. As it stands, Wike has defeated the Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed-led PDP Governors Forum

Wike 9:4 fubara


FCT for the first time where is seun omo iya elewa

Wike is just there playing the cards of the APC for his personal interest. The earlier PDP Stakeholders realise this and sanction him the better for the party else the party is not ready to give APC the fight they deserve come 2027.

PDP failed as ruling party and failed as an opposition.

If I were Fubara, I will move the LG elections to after the NEC.

If you're big you're big

One of the golden rules of power across the globe is "Don't outshine your Master"

Lol

pdp is just a toothless party.
a party that cannot save itself.

Wike is PDP

Wike is the PDP cash cow, you cant take him out.
Unfortunately for PDP their cash cow is currently being fed by the APC.

You cant hate Jagabans political strategies

Fubara will move the elections till after the next NEC meeting. If they no gree he will switch party

Wike keep destroying Tinubu chances the more. Such people don't have business being in government.

The opposition should as a matter of urgency plan in secret henceforth as this government are out to trample on everyone seen as obstacle.

Wike is fighting roo early. They will humble him at the right time.

Wike na man you be. Anywhere you go we follow you.

Wike the tormentor of Peter obi, obedient, Ipob.

Wike the undertaker, the Nyerisi 1 of Rivers state.

No man born of a woman can take away your structure.

PDP cannot mess with wike. No Wike No PDP.

Fubara , get ready to vacate the government house or you Resign now to avoid embarrassment.

Wike is the strongest politician in SS and SE.

As e dey pain ipob and obedient right now, E dey sweet us.

Wike is Greater than Azikiwe
Greater than Ojukwu the coward

specialbobby:
Wike 1:0 fubara

You are not current at all.

The scores has changed since.

Wike 9 : 4 Fubara

Time for the governors to factionalize the party and break away from it. Let Wike have the carcass.

Wike the wicked producer

What could give this guy such power, if I was fubara I go decamp straight away.

Yet delusional people still arguing that Tinubu won't have his 8 years complete if he doesn't die or millitary intervenes.


PDP fighting to finish

LP already tore one another naked in street fighting.

Who will now upstage tyranny on the throne?

Fubara started too early in his istration to fight who single handedly gave you a life chance of becoming a governor. He lacks tart and sense.

Dont outshine your master is only when he is in control and power. Fubara is in power and control, Wike is bribing PDP NWC led by Damagun which is loyal to Tinubu. The solution is for Fubara to decamp to another party and leave PDP without any hold in Rivers State.

Somebody that Fubara has under wraps
You must be joking
How about his 27 lawmakers
😂🤣😂🤣

That doesn’t says governor fubara isn’t in control of Pdp in Rivers state. Wike is just a clueless empty beater niii

I observed that majority of sim fubara er's are obedients, Amaechi ers and the Atiku ers. Wike is a very good strategist but as it stands people don't really like him. Most people still with him are their for the goodies. Especially as he is aligned to APC that is heavily accused of the economic woes in Nigeria.

Damagun is just interested in money over his political career
The PDP governors will kick him out
