A member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Executive Committee and Deputy National Youth Leader, Timothy Osadolor, has urged the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party and the governors’ forum to address Nyesom Wike’s threats to the PDP.
Osadolor criticised Wike’s threats to the PDP governors as unnecessary and distasteful.
His words: “I think the speech by former governor Wike was very unnecessary and unsavoury.
“Wike’s statement is unfortunate. A man who should be busy apologising to the party or trying to seek reconciliation should not be grandstanding, throwing tantrums, and issuing threats to governors who are keeping the party’s flag flying.
“So, I think it’s high time the Governors’ Forum and the NWC sat down and took a position on leaders like Wike, no matter how highly placed or how much interest the person has.
“They need to address such leaders squarely and draw the line firmly and clearly so that in the future you won’t have these types of people playing larger than life in the PDP.
“The party is supreme and must act as a supreme entity. I believe that an adequate response should be given to the threat he (Wike) was making.”
Osadolor said Wike has made one statement too many, adding that it’s time to tell the FCT minister to choose between the PDP and the ruling All Progressives Congress.
“What that means is that if he wants to be in the party, he must play and live by the rules; if he wants to be outside the party, let him be outside the party umbrella and throw his tantrums.
“But his move to remain in the party while undermining it will not be tolerated,” Osadolor told Punch.
