PDP Groups Seek Suspension Of Atiku, Wike Over Alleged Anti-party Activities

The Northern Professionals Movement and PDP Elders Support Group, both of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), have called for the suspension of the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar and the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike over alleged anti-party activities.

The groups made the call in a statement jointly signed by Mr. Isaac Samuel and Dr. Muazzam Sadaukimade and available to journalists on Wednesday in Kaduna.

“We are calling on the BoT and PDP Governors’ Forum to act decisively along with the NWC of the party to sanction or suspend both Atiku Abubakar and Nyesom Wike from attending any activities of the party to restore sanity and political stability in the party.

“Atiku and Wike are being accused of supporting some groups of people that are habitually and desperately castigating and insulting the party’s leadership through different platforms for their political interests, thereby threatening the unity and survival of our great party,” the groups noted.

They called on the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT) and PDP Governors’ Forum to urgently wade into the ongoing political crisis threatening to tear down the unity and political stability of the party.

“Despite all the sacrifices made by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party during and after the 2023 general elections, and subsequent activities of the party in the country, some restless and uncultured people were paid to write and rubbish our leaders.

“These are coming up because of the interest of some individuals who are eager to control the soul of our party unconstitutionally. These include people who have abandoned the party several times after the general elections,” the groups said.

They charged party leaders to now identify the grey areas in the party with the intention to addressing such and then return the desired peace and unity back to the party.

“We disagree with any plans to change the leadership of the party at the moment as our party is in dire need of cohesion to stabilise itself from unforeseen challenges,” the PDP groups said.
