PDP Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Abdullahi Ibrahim, has made it clear that a party as large as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is not obliged to comply with the mere demands of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
Speaking in an interview with Arise News Television on Tuesday from 7:47, he emphasized that the party has long distanced itself from the utterances of the former Rivers State Governor, stressing that the PDP cannot be held hostage by one individual.
Setting the record straight, Ibrahim stated that the PDP would not allow itself to be dictated to by Nyesom Wike. He highlighted that the party played an integral role in helping Wike gain prominence in his political career and secure several key public offices in the country. According to him, without the PDP’s support and influence, Wike would not have attained his current political status.
“We are not going to be deterred by one person sitting somewhere and dictating to a party as big as the PDP. He cannot sit and be dictating to a political party that has made him whatever he thinks he is today. Without PDP, there wouldn’t have been a Nyseom Wike.”
Furthermore, Abdullahi Ibrahim expressed his expectation that Wike should abandon his hostile stance toward the PDP and sincerely reflect on whether he is being fair to the party that made him who he is today. He added that the PDP is far bigger than Wike and will not be hindered by any individual or obstacle standing in the way of its upcoming convention in November.
“PDP is bigger than 100 Wikes put together, he should forget all these things that he is saying. We are going to go ahead with our convention and no Jupiter is capable of stopping us from doing so.”
