The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has taken another dimension as the camp loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Saturday conducted the South-South PDP Zonal Congress in Calabar, Cross River State, despite a court order against the exercise.

This is even as the National Working Committee, NWC, of the PDP said the party is not in any way involved in the said gathering in Calabar.

PDP insisted it has not conducted its South South Zonal Congress.

DAILY POST reports that the recent development comes amid an order of the court against the conduct of South-South Zonal Congress.

A High Court in Port Harcourt had issued an interim injunction preventing the South-South Zonal Congress from taking place in Cross River or anywhere else in Nigeria.

The case was brought by Tony Ejiogu, a PDP member from Ward 3 in Etche Local Government Area, and Field Nkoro, a former Vice-Chairman of the South-East PDP.

However, DAILY POST learnt that Wike participated and even voted as well at the Congress in Calabar, which also had in attendance the ex-Governor of Cross Rivers State, Donald Duke.

Lere Olayinka, media aide to Wike, disclosed this on Saturday via a post on his X handle.

“FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, voting at the South-South PDP Zonal Congress going on in Calabar, Cross River State,” Olayinka wrote.

Responding to the development on behalf of the PDP, Debo Ologunagba, National Publicity Secretary, stated that the party has not conducted its South South Zonal Congress and it has yet to communicate a date for the exercise

“The attention of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been drawn to a reported social gathering in Calabar, Cross River State, where the organizers falsely claimed same to be the South South Zonal Congress of the PDP.

“To the contrary, the PDP states in clear that it has not conducted its South South Zonal Congress neither is it in any way involved in the said gathering in Calabar.

“For emphasis therefore, the PDP states that it has not conducted its South South Zonal Congress and it has yet to communicate a date for the exercise.

“The PDP calls on all party in the South South Zone, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Security Agencies and the Media to disregard any gathering or outcome of any such gathering in Calabar, Cross River State purported to be the South South Zonal Congress of the PDP.

Our Party will in due course and through its official channels communicate a new date for the conduct of the South South Zonal Congress.

“The NWC commends the PDP South South State Governors, other leaders, critical stakeholders and of the Party in the Zone for their loyalty and steadfastness toward the unity, stability and growth of the Party in the South South Zone and the nation,”
a statement released by the PDP spokesman read.

Would have been good to know those that attended apart from Wike and DD.
PDP is gradually loosing steam. A minor issue that could have been amicably resolved (2023 presidential candidate),has now scattered the party. Personal ambition of few individuals, has torn the party to shreds. So unfortunate,the party that once boasted of ruling for 60 years

grin grin Wike is not shifting ground. He is not ready to back down for Atiku. I am surprised at Wike's boldness. No politician from the South has been this bold to challenge a powerful northern establishment. The man isn't backing down anytime soon for PDP. He would destroy the party within and ensure that the party is not united as the build up towards 2027 gathers momentum. Those thinking that BAT would loose the 2027 general elections should check their thinking faculties again.

Wike is the most dangerous, selfish and calous person I have ever seen. He is ready to maim, destroy and plunder so far it makes him relevant in politics. His bitter end will be brutal.

That guy is just too useless.

He has been in Politics before Wike finished secondary school yet he can't get a grip of the party structure.

Wike dey play him like pingpong.
