“The party is not finding it difficult to sanction Wike, but it has only chosen to take the path of peace. We are not interested in additional hurdles or to ignite more fire. A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja recently said the PDP had the power to sanction him (Wike) in line with due process.
“The party has the capacity to wield the axe against anyone, but it is looking at the bigger picture, the path of peace.”
PDP chieftain calls on Wike to resign from the party
However, Wike has been asked to honourably resign his membership of the PDP after the leadership of the party ignored him.
A PDP National Executive Committee member, Timothy Osadolor, who stated this, added that Wike is confused and he goes about begging for appointment.
Osadolor stated:
“It is now clear that the former Rivers State governor is everywhere begging for a job. If you saw his interview with BBC Pidgin Service, you will know that the man is gone and confused.
“He was asked a simple question if he would take an appointment from Tinubu. He replied that he would ask his wife and close associates and added that he was not too big to serve Nigeria. Is that not an affirmation that he will accept the offer if it comes?”
