Key Points

• Wike pulls out of PDP agreements citing betrayal.

• He blames Seyi Makinde and others for PDP instability.

• Wike vows to continue fighting until justice is served.

A fresh political crisis is rocking the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) as Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, announced he is withdrawing from all agreements reached to resolve the internal party rift.

Wike declared this in a strongly worded statement titled “PDP Crisis: My Position,” in which he accused some party leaders of dishonesty and betrayal.

According to Wike, he told Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State that Makinde was the main architect of the PDP’s instability.

He emphasized that the party’s repeated failure to honor agreements had led to its ongoing turmoil.

Wike insisted he had no personal issues with Governor Bala Mohammed but criticized him for violating agreements under the guise of leading the PDP Governors Forum.

He also revealed that multiple reconciliatory meetings were held, including those hosted by former Senate President Bukola Saraki. Despite these efforts, Wike said the agreements were not respected.

Wike accuses PDP leaders of betrayal and dishonesty

Wike detailed how some governors, including Makinde and Peter Mba of Enugu State, conspired to sideline the legitimate national secretary of the PDP, Senator Samuel Anyanwu.

He criticized the move to install Ude Okoye, which he labeled as a direct violation of prior agreements.

In addition, Wike slammed the use of the deputy national secretary to sign official documents and the party’s letter to INEC, which caused the electoral body to cancel the North-Central zonal congress in Jos.

He argued that this act showed how deeply rooted the betrayal had become within the PDP leadership.

The FCT minister also called out the party’s publicity secretary, accusing him of undermining the decisions signed by legitimate party leaders.

Wike vows to fight on until justice is served

Wike made it clear that he would no longer entertain any reconciliation attempts. He asserted that he had sacrificed greatly for the PDP since 1998, more than many of the current leaders.

Despite contributing to their electoral victories, he said he had not asked for anything in return.

The minister expressed deep frustration that trust among key stakeholders had eroded beyond repair. As a result, Wike said he would fight until justice was served and the party returned to its founding values.
