The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reportedly summoned the former Governor of Rivers State and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, forr alleged anti-party activities.
Reports said that FCT minister and other chieftains of the party accused of various acts of anti-party activities were to appear before the Chief Tom Ikimi-led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) disciplinary committee.
The PDP Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Ibrahim Abdullahi, made this known on Monday during an appearance on Channels Television’s programme, :Sunrise Daily.”

Abdullahi explained that Wike had been summoned via a letter to appear before the Tom Ikimi-led PDP disciplinary committee set up by the party’s National Working Committee.
He said, “Three weeks ago, we put up two committees– that of reconciliation and disciplinary, and Nyesom Wike is one of the persons to face the disciplinary committee, which is headed by elder statesman Chief Tom Ikimi.
“The disciplinary committee will look into issues of anti-party activities. We’ve been receiving petitions regarding anti-party activities or sabotaging the party throughout the primary, leading to where we are now.
“These petitions against Wike and other party members have been aggregated and sent to the committee.
“Some party members even felt that Wike shouldn’t have gotten to this level still as a member of the PDP and they have been writing to the leadership.”
The PDP spokesperson disclosed further that the former Rivers state governor’s statement about “putting fire in their ‘PDP Governors’ states was wrong and unacceptable
According to Abdullahi, “Wike should be able to manage his words carefully; that was a very disappointing remark.

“We weren’t expecting him to say that, and to be honest with you, we are not with him on that.”
Abdullahi’s statement was coming barely two days after Wike expressed his gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for allowing him to serve in his administration.
This is despite his relentless criticisms and his threat against PDP governors for supporting Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State.
Recall that Wike while addressing party members during a factional PDP Congress in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Wike threatened to cause a political crisis in the states of any PDP governor who tried to interfere in the party’s affairs in the South-South state.
The FCT minister also stated that anyone angry with his position in Tinubu’s government should go and hug a transformer.
Other party chieftains, such as former Kogi State Governorship candidate Senator Dino Melaye, are also said to have been summoned to appear before the panel.
