Wike Pulls Out Of ‘Agreements’ In PDP, Blames Oyo, Enugu Govs For Party’s Crises

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared his withdrawal from all earlier agreements aimed toward resolving the lingering disaster throughout the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), vowing to struggle on till justice is attained.

Wike, in a press release on Sunday, which was personally signed by him, accused the Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde, of being the “architect” of the celebration’s present woes, alleging that Makinde’s “non-adherence to agreements reached was the bane of the celebration, and that he was the chief perpetrator of this anomaly.”

The assertion, titled: “PDP Disaster: My Place,” outlined Wike’s grievances, insisting that resolutions reached throughout reconciliation conferences have to be revered.

Wike recognized such resolutions to incorporate the retention of Senator Samuel Anyanwu because the PDP Nationwide Secretary, in step with a Supreme Court docket judgment; the withdrawal of all authorized issues regarding Rivers State by the celebration’s Nationwide Authorized Adviser, discontinuation of the State of Emergency swimsuit and strict adherence to all agreements by concerned events.

The assertion learn; “Since after the 2023 common election, the PDP has been wantonly swinging from one a part of a slippery precipice to a different, owing essentially to dishonesty and lack of belief amongst its key stakeholders. To stem this ugly pattern, efforts have been made to arrest this pernicious virus of dishonesty and treachery and enthrone constancy to agreements with a view to stabilising the celebration and shifting it ahead.

“To this finish, a gathering of the G5 was held in Lagos. In that assembly, I made it clear to the Governor of Oyo State, HE. Seyi Makinde that he was the architect of our issues, stating to him that non-adherence to agreements reached was the bane of the celebration, and that he was the chief perpetrator of this anomaly. On the finish of the assembly, we resolved to bury the hatchet and make progress.

“As a follow-up to the aforementioned assembly, there was an expanded assembly in Abuja involving H.E. Seyi Makinde, H.E. Umaru Fintri, H.E. Bala Mohammed, H.E, Bukola Saraki, and I in Saraki’s Visitor Home. In that assembly, I made it clear that I had no private issues with H.E. Bala Mohammed, besides that he hides underneath the facade of Chairman of PDP Governors’ Discussion board to serially renege on agreements.

“Tensions rose mightily within the assembly and it took all involved to calm frayed nerves. On the finish of the assembly, we got here to some resolutions, together with: that Senator Samuel Anyanwu stays the Nationwide Secretary of the PDP in tandem with the Supreme Court docket judgement, all authorized issues regarding Rivers State have to be withdrawn by the Nationwide Authorized Adviser, the swimsuit on the State of emergency be withdrawn forthwith, and no one ought to deviate from the agreements so reached.”

Wike additional said that within the mild of the foregoing, they pleaded with him to attend the stakeholders’ assembly on the Bauchi Authorities Lodge.

“I attended the assembly and clearly reiterated my earlier issues, and to this finish and to be able to resolve all different lingering and pending points, a committee was shaped, headed by H.E. Bukola Saraki.

“It’s disheartening to notice that even earlier than the Bukola Saraki Reconciliation Committee started its work, the gentleman’s settlement we reached at Saraki’s Visitor Home was already being crudely violated.

“To my chagrin, Seyi Makinde had connived with Peter Mba of Enugu State to orchestrate the summoning of the assembly of so-called South-East leaders to suggest that if Ude Okoye was not adopted as Secretary, they’d pull out of the PDP. I’ve since granted an interview to the impact that, that decision of the South-East leaders can not maintain.

“Once more, Seyi Makinde organised some individuals within the Nationwide Secretariat to insist that the Deputy Nationwide Secretary ought to act as Nationwide Secretary, in violation of the settlement earlier reached. To try to provide credence to this farce, a letter was written by the Deputy Nationwide Secretary, calling for a gathering of the NEC of the celebration,” he stated.

Moreover, the FCT Minister stated the letter confirming the candidacy of the Governorship candidate of the celebration within the forthcoming governorship elections in Anambra State, duly signed by the Nationwide Secretary, Senator Anyanwu and the appearing Nationwide Chairman, was portrayed as rejected by the celebration by a rebuttal letter signed by the Nationwide Publicity Secretary, allegedly appearing on the orders of Governors Makinde and Mba.

“All these actions are in full violation of the agreements reached and wouldn’t do the celebration any good by any means. On the twenty fourth of Could 2025, in Jos, for example, a well-publicised and correctly attended zonal elective congress of the PDP was aborted as a result of the letter inviting INEC to the congress was signed by the Deputy Nationwide Secretary of the celebration.

“INEC refused to attend as a result of the right signatory recognised by legislation, that’s Senator Samuel Anyanwu, was not a signatory to the invitation discover. That is undeniably distasteful, provocative and annoying, to say the least.

“I’ve painstakingly put out all these information in order that PDP members and most of the people would know the reality. I’ve been on this celebration since 1998 and have labored tirelessly for the survival of this celebration with all my power, and it’s on file that none of those individuals have finished something near what I’ve finished to maintain this celebration.

“What’s extra painful is that I contributed considerably to most of those governors’ successful their elections, but I’ve not made any private calls for on any of them and I might by no means accomplish that.

“Most significantly, I had thought that we might hold the belief amongst us, however since it’s now apparent that they’d proceed to play video games to the detriment of the celebration, as is the case within the present debacle within the North-Central zonal elections, I’ve now firmly determined to drag out of all agreements hitherto reached. I’ve determined to struggle on till justice is attained,” he said.
