Makinde and Wike
Stakeholders in the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP), on the aegies of Conference of Professionals in the PDP(CP-PDP) has said former Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, is allegedly angry with Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde, because of the latter’s refusal to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election-.
The CP-PDP, in a statement by its Protem National Coordinator, Obinna Nwachukwu, on Monday, said that is why Wike, who is also the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory ( FCT) allegedly resorted to baseless allegations against Makinde, in his media chat, on Monday.
The stakeholders said Wike’s alleged resort to personal attacks against leaders of the opposition party will not yield any result as the PDP cannot be derailed.
“The Conference of Professionals in the Peoples Democratic Party (CP-PDP) invites Nigerians to note the Minister’s resort to hubristic invective and baseless allegations against Governor Makinde and other credible leaders.
“This outburst stems from their refusal to support the Tinubu administration, which has brought untold hardship and escalated insecurity across the country over the last two years.
“Our response to Minister Wike is that the PDP is too big and too deeply entrenched to be captured or derailed.
His resort to personal attacks and bogus allegations against our leaders, such as Governor Makinde, will not yield the results he desires,” it stated. (The Sun)
