The Conference of Professionals in the Peoples Democratic Party (CP-PDP) has said governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) did not enter a deal with the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on the internal crisis rocking the party.
Protem national coordinator of CP-PDP, Obinna Nwachukwu, said this while refuting a media report that such an agreement was reached in Lagos.
Nwachukwu, in a statement on behalf of the group said an independent investigation into the report found it to be “incorrect.”
He said “The narrative being spread is a deliberate attempt to mislead the media and cause disaffection within the PDP by falsely suggesting that our governors have struck a compromise with the FCT minister.”
The group further alleged that the report is part of a broader effort to distract from growing calls for expulsion from the PDP over alleged anti-party activities of those who have publicly declared support for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming 2026 FCT Council elections and the 2027 presidential poll.
He said the May 27 PDP NEC is poised to address these infractions with appropriate sanctions, including possible expulsion.
Reaffirming its support for PDP governors and national leaders, the CP-PDP declared there would be no compromise on accountability and party discipline. It called on Nigerians to disregard any report suggesting reconciliation with Wike, whom the group accused of undermining the party from within.
