“We have finished the first phase of the war. We are going to the second phase of the war. In the second phase of the war, we must chase out the buccaneers and vampires. We are going to chase them out of the party, take our party and rebuild our party.
“These people left our party in 2014/2015 and our party lost in the election. Again, they have come back, our party has lost again. They have destroyed our party. We are going to chase them out of our party. They have no role to play in our party.”
Wike, G5 Governors and the PDP crisis
Wike is the arrowhead of the G5, a group of five aggrieved PDP governors who worked against the party's presidential candidate, Atiku.
They withdrew their support for Atiku following the refusal of the party's leadership to grant their demand for Iyorchia Ayu to step down as national chairman and allow a southerner to take over.
The aggrieved PDP governors said since the presidential candidate is a northerner, the national chairman should be a southerner in the interest of equity and justice.
Speaking on Thursday, Wike accused the PDP leadership of committing anti-party activities. He said those who violated the provisions of the PDP constitution for the rotation of elective and appointive offices would be thrown out of the party.
