The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, says it’s not helpless in addressing the impasse involving the party and Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.
PDP Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, said the party would sanction Wike for working against the party.
He made this known during a news conference in Abuja on Tuesday.
Damagum’s remark came on the heels of the crisis in Rivers State between Wike and Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The rift between the duo had led to 25 PDP lawmakers in the state defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC, and seven commissioners have also resigned their appointments.
President Bola Tinubu had since intervene in the matter and made the duo sign a peace accord after a meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Meanwhile, during the 2023 presidential election, Wike and the G-5 governors had worked against PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
However, Damagum said all PDP members working against the interest of the party will be sanctioned.
He said: “We are not unmindful of the fact that it’s not only Wike; there are other people that have also worked against his party.
“When we get to that level, we will sanction everybody. If Wike believes he is above this party, we will show him he is not above this party.”
