PDP BoT Bans Governor Wike, Others
The Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has banned Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, and other party leaders, from making further inflammatory remarks or granting press interviews, on the crisis rocking the party.
This is just as the PDP National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu said the allegations against him by Wike were false.
A six-person Special Committee headed by acting Chairman Senator Adolphus Wabara had been formed by the BoT with the mission of visiting and pacifying enraged party members.
Members of the BoT gathered on Friday to make a decision regarding the ongoing crisis, and the committee’s report was presented to them. Ayu belongs to the BoT.
In a statement read out at the conclusion of the meeting, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum and the Governor of Sokoto State, was urged by Wabara to hold a meeting of the governors as soon as possible.
Nevertheless, it counseled “all the party leaders to match words with deeds and, where commitments are made, to unconditionally fulfill same.”
