The political faceoff between the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde assumed a fresh twist on Monday night as the former Rivers State governor declared interest in all activities of the Oyo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Speaking at the 105th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja, Wike vowed to protect the national party from internal “vampires.”
Both Wike and Makinde were members of the Group of 5 governors in the lead-up to the last general election. They fell apart shortly after the election.
Wike, a pivotal and often polarising figure within the PDP, was blunt about his focus. While reinforcing his commitment to the party’s nationwide success, he pointedly mentioned his surveillance of the Oyo State chapter.
“Let me declare my interest clearly: I am interested in the survival and success of this party. I am also interested in all the happenings in Oyo State PDP. That is all I am interested in,” Wike said.
The minister insisted that his concern remains the “survival, stability and success” of the party, dismissing any attempts at intimidation by rival factions following recent favourable court rulings.
Addressing the fallout of the party’s internal leadership tussle, Wike declared that the opposition to the current Caretaker Committee has lost its legal footing.
He took a swipe at those he described as “vampires” who seek to control the party across the 36 states and the FCT.
“Who will intimidate us to the end? Some of us, by the grace of God, do not see what anyone can threaten us with. The legal battle has collapsed. They have no option but to recognise the Caretaker Committee,” he stated..See More
Favor As Higher Power?
(The hidden truth)
Some positions in life cannot be held or retained for long if you are not favored. Favor is higher power. You are not the only one desiring, deserving, connected, powerful or qualified. Some positions in life, opportunities, success, achievements, triumphs, selection, approvals, power and position, elevation, patronage, etc, are mainly through favor. Favor is silent, spiritual and higher power. For spiritual guidance, other solutions, call/Whatsapp Dr J.A. Faros on 07030514063. With God, all are possible.
