WIKE-LED PDP FACTION GIVES APC NATIONAL SECRETARY 48 HOURS TO APOLOGISE

Image
The faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) loyal to Nyesom Wike has asked Ajibola Basiru, national secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), to apologise to the FCT minister within 48 hours. On Monday, Basiru asked Wike to resign his appointment and focus on what he described as an “obsession” with Rivers state politics. Wike had asked the APC national secretary to stay off Rivers politics. In a statement issued on Tuesday and signed by Etim Isong, factional zonal publicity secretary of the PDP south-south, the faction condemned Basiru’s “personal attack” on Wike.  The group said Basiru’s remarks were inappropriate and capable of undermining the administration of President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 election. The statement said it was perplexing that Basiru, who “failed to produce a governor for the APC” in Osun state in 2023, would seek to question the political relevance of Wike in Rivers state. The faction said Basiru’s suggestion that Wike’s suppor...

The action itself has drawn attention online,  Here is one of the recent reactions  Okejiri Emmanuel ( Otitife )   Wrote   I came across a post by Pastor David Ibiyeomie, founder of Salvation Ministries, where he personally went to the market to promote his business, Glory Reign.

He is the owner and leader; he is carrying out his responsibility. The problem is when followers use such actions as an excu...
