The Peoples Democratic Party has challenged the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, by establishing a caretaker committee in the South-South geopolitical zone.

In a statement issued on Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, the PDP explained that the decision by the National Working Committee was based on the need to prevent any leadership vacuum and ensure the continued smooth operation of the party in the zone after the expiration of the zonal executive’s tenure on March 9, 2025.

The Rivers State High Court, sitting in Port Harcourt, had restrained the PDP and the National Vice Chairman of the South-South, Dan Orbih, from holding the zonal congress.

The claimants in the case marked PHC/551/CS/2025, were PDP from Rivers State, Tonu Ejiogu and Field Nkor.



However, despite the court ruling, the party proceeded with the congress in Calabar, Cross River State.

Wike, who ed and attended the congress, called the South-South the PDP’s strongest base, insisting that no other congress would be held in the region.

Wike maintained that the zonal congress was legally organised and that Orbih remained the National Vice Chairman.


The chairman of the electoral committee, Vita Abba, announced that Orbih won the election with 174 votes.

Disregarding Wike’s stance, the Umar Damagum-led NWC appointed Emma Ogidi as the Chairman of the caretaker committee for the zone.

The PDP also appointed Chief Damiete Herbert-Miller as Secretary, Nicholas Ayuwa, Godwin Akpan Udonta, Bekewei Ashanti, Idehen Ebomoyim, and Dame Vivian Ahanmisi as .

The statement read in part “The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has, pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017) approved the composition of the South South Zonal Caretaker Committee to manage the affairs of the Party in the Zone from Monday, March 10, 2025.

“The decision of the NWC is predicated on the need to avoid any vacuum and ensure the smooth running of the affairs of the Party in the South South Zone at the expiration of the tenure of the current Zonal Executive on Sunday, March 9, 2025”

“The committee is to oversee the activities of the party in the zone for a period of three months or until when a new zonal executive is elected in accordance with the provisions of the constitution of the PDP

They don't learn

Na so

PDP is a joke. What stops these guys from dealing ruthlessly with Wike is beyond my imagination

Before nko?

How can 1 ex-Governor defeat 4 serving Governors?

Koralords:
Be like this damagum no dey wike camp again

He is still in that camp.
This time, it's affecting the 4 Governors in a zone so he doesn't really have much of a choice.

If it's one Governor, he wouldn't care but all the Governors in PDP's only stronghold, he doesn't stand a chance.

Pdpiigs a party of charlatans🤡👀

PDP dares Wike or court ruling

Besides, how about daring Wike by suspending him from the party

PDP Seems To Be Waking Up From Their Slumber, Pussy Party

So Damagun is now fighting Wike now

Its not a matter of daring Wike, but having the courage to expel him & his cohorts out of the party.

Wike no dey hear word

Wike na strong man..

All na for Yoruba people pocket

As e be .. PDP has spoken

And court has concluded

Congress must hold .. and if he feel say he be superstar putting fire everywhere ..

Na his house go first burn..

I when the fool say he can and will put fire everywhere as long as dem dare am

Fubara alone has done to Mount Everest for him and his foolish 27 bingos ..

Power to the people !!

Game of thrones!

It's about time, some one fought back.
No peace for the wicked.

It's time to set his 40 years whiskey on fire 🔥
Meanwhile note

it is only a Nigerian girl you will see preparing for marriage and she only has #5k or less in her .
With a mind blowing milage!!

It is only a Nigerian girl that knows what she deserves, but has 0 balance, no job and her parents can't even afford to give her what she thinks she deserves.

It is only a Nigerian girl that believe what she deserves should be funded by a man's pocket.

Very delusional lot.

Wike has no other Job than to make sure PDP is not United before 2027, and tinubu as strategically planted and watering him there, that's just he's task for 2027.
PDP needs to find a way to eject him with full force and remove all his loyalist before talking of 2027.
He is succeeding in making PDP unattractive to defectors and the ones there are afraid to contest until it's umbrella.. I believe before 2027 APC will explode

A letter signed by only the publicity secretary. Hahaha PDP under the current acting national chairman is control by Chief Barr Nyesom Wike. Any other PDP is fake, why have they not sold form for anambra governorship election? Wike is in charge of PDP structure

Show of Strength

I wonder what is preventing the PDP from expelling that drunkard from the party.

Wike na confused man

When will all these Nigerian newspapers stop brown envelope journalism?

Instead of reporting the news as it is, they want to hoodwink gullible people that it is the Damagun led NWC that issued the statement instead of a faction of the NWC. So the Publicity Secretary, who is on the other faction, can now issue a statement for the NWC even when they didn't meet and it will be reported as a statement of the Damagun led NWC?

Sorry to burst your bubbles but those celebrating this news are merely engaging in premature ejaculation. The NWC did not issue that statement and the newspaper that reported it knows.
