How PDP plan to keep Tinubu's minister amid crisis in popular south-south state, chieftain explains

Lagos state – A ward chairman in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Ajeromi Ifelodun LGA of Lagos state, Honourable West Frimabo Paul, said the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike is an asset to the party but not indispensable.

West said the PDP values and respects the former Rivers state governor and will do everything to keep him.

He stated this during an exclusive chat with TimesNow.com.ng on Saturday, May 4.

The PDP chieftain, however, said keeping Wike will depend on the findings and decisions of the disciplinary committee.

West further stated that the PDP has not sanctioned the FCT minister despite openly disobeying the party’s directive, because its constitution guides its operations.

He explained that Wike will continue to enjoy all the privileges of being a PDP member until Udom Emmanuel’s Disciplinary Committee finds him guilty of anti-party activities.

Meanwhile, TimesNow.com.ng reported that West urged Wike to allow Governor Sim Fubara and Rivers state to breathe. West said Wike cannot control the oil-rich south-south state from the nation’s capital, Abuja.

West said Wike did not make Fubara but the good people of Rivers state who trooped out in large numbers to vote him as their governor during the 2023 election.

He said Fubara would govern Rivers state independently without being controlled by any Godfather.
