Former National Auditor of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ray Nnaji has condemned the crisis in the Rivers State chapter of the party.
According to him, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, is not in the PDP and All Progressives Congress (APC) at the same time, but is simply interested in securing the soul of Rivers State ahead of the 2027 election.
Nnaji stated this while speaking with Daily Post.
He questioned why a reconciliation committee was set up, wondering if it was meant for Wike or Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The former PDP auditor insisted that there was no assurance that if Wike successfully destroys PDP, the APC would be a comfortable place for him
According to him, “I don’t know who they are reconciling with. Is it Wike or the Governor?
“From the look of things, the government is not ready to play ball, when Wike wants the structure. And if you give Wike the structure, the governor becomes a follower of Wike.
“That is not what the governor wants, he’s supposed to be the leader of the party in the state and take charge.
“Wike, seeing what’s happening, believes he has done his parallel congress and produced a structure. Of course, the governor has his own structure, who the national picks will be another issue.
“I learnt Wike was invited to the disciplinary committee, I don’t know the outcome of the invitation but they waited too long to allow Wike to this point.
“He was not part of the formation of the party but he’s the most beneficiary of the PDP. Going ahead to seek the destruction of the party he has benefited a lot from doesn’t augur well for him, especially in the future.
“If he destroys PDP, who’s sure the APC will be a comfortable place for him to stay?
“I don’t think he’s thinking from that angle. It is his personal interest that matters most for him now.
“The PDP has to make sure it puts its house in order to see if it can liberate the country come 2027.”
