Defer To Wike If His Complaints Are Constitutional, Ex-IPAC Chair Urges PDP

A former chairman of the Inter-Party Advisory Council in Enugu State, John Nwobodo, has advised the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to defer to the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, if his complaints are in the party’s constitution.

However, he urged the PDP to maintain its ground if the complaints are not in the party’s constitution.

Nwobodo, a former governorship candidate in Enugu State, disclosed this in an exclusive interview with LEADERSHIP in Enugu.

It will be recalled that Wike recently told the PDP that the South-South zonal congress that was held must be upheld, insisting that no doubt, no two words about it.

He also maintained that the party must reverse recent decisions he considers unjust, including the removal of Chief Dan Orbih.

Reacting to the threat, Nwobodo said that though the matter is within the PDP’s internal affairs, the conditions for peace must be in accordance with the provisions of the PDP Constitution.

“If the decisions he is complaining about negate the provisions of the PDP Constitution, then the PDP should defer to him, but if not, the PDP should maintain its ground,” he stated.
