In a statement issued yesterday, Nyesom Wike, explained the efforts made toward achieving a peace deal and announced his withdrawal from the process, vowing to continue fighting until justice was served.
According to The Punch, he accused Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde of obstructing the reconciliation process, alleging that Makinde had reneged on an agreement to retain Anyanwu as national secretary, in accordance with a Supreme Court judgment.
Wike indicated that he had pulled out of the reconciliation efforts and had disavowed key agreements intended to resolve the ongoing crisis, reiterating his commitment to continue the struggle for justice.
He reportedly blamed Makinde for instigating the crisis, recalling that he had warned the Oyo governor that the party’s problems stemmed from failure to adhere to agreements, and that Makinde was the primary offender in this regard.
In a statement titled “PDP Crisis: My Position,” Wike asserted that the terms of peace had been violated by Makinde.
He stated that, since the 2023 general election, the PDP had been plagued by instability due to dishonesty and lack of trust among its major stakeholders.
He cited the incident of May 24, 2025, in Jos, where a zonal elective congress was aborted because the letter inviting INEC was signed by the party’s Deputy National Secretary instead of Senator Anyanwu, who was legally recognized as the proper signatory. As a result, INEC refused to attend, which Wike described as provocative and unacceptable.
He said he had taken the time to present the facts so that both party members and the public could understand the reality of the situation. Wike emphasized his long-standing commitment to the PDP since 1998 and claimed to have contributed more to its survival than any of those now undermining it.
Further talking, he said, “What is more painful is that I contributed substantially to most of these governors winning their elections, yet I’ve not made any personal demands on any of them, and I would never do so. Most importantly, I had thought that we could keep the trust amongst us, but since it’s now obvious that they would continue to play games to the detriment of the party, as is the case in the current debacle in the Northcentral zonal elections, I’ve now firmly decided to pull out of all agreements hitherto reached. I’ve decided to fight on until justice is attained.”
