Wike Breaks Silence: My Only Condition For Peace In PDP Revealed

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has stated unequivocally that lasting peace in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) hinges on the party’s recognition of the South-South zonal congress.

Speaking during his monthly media briefing in Abuja on Monday, Wike stressed that the congress held in Calabar was lawfully conducted and must not be tampered with.

“Our South-South zonal congress must be upheld — there’s no ambiguity about that,” Wike declared.

He emphasized that the congress was permitted by a court ruling, and no individual has the authority to overturn its outcome.

Referring to the controversy surrounding the congress, the former Rivers State governor remarked, “When we organized the South-South congress, the Acting National Chairman claimed the PDP governors weren’t in support of the National Congress. But where are those governors now?”

He firmly asserted that the Calabar congress remains valid, regardless of opposition.

Wike reaffirmed the legitimacy of Daniel Orbi’s emergence as National Vice Chairman, stating, “If they want another test of will, so be it. But our congress was held, Daniel Orbi emerged, and the court sanctioned it.”
