Bode George: Wike Has Crossed the Line, He Should Be Sacked From PDP

Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), should be fired from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) according to Chief Bode George, a former deputy national chairman of the party.
According to George, Wike has gone too far by taking away the PDP national secretariat’s Abuja location, and he has no right to stay a party member.
In an interview with Arise News on Friday, George called Wike’s move an outright declaration of war against the PDP.

He has crossed the line, in my opinion. What do you seek after you pass the red line? Therefore, why is he still there? George inquired.
By comparing Wike’s behavior to a son taking over his father’s home, he argued that the Minister need to be guided out of the party.

“Why do you think your father is still a man if you have gone to usurp his home? Why do you suppose he remains a party member? The PDP leader asked.

George urged PDP leadership to act against Wike, saying that their silence would be the height of irresponsibility and disgrace.

“No, no, no.” These things are just shattering, you know, the party. There must be a meeting of the party. We must hold a meeting with the board of trustees’ leaders. In trust for the party’s members, we own the party.

“A young man has gone too far if he declared that the PDP party secretariat should be abolished. An open war has been proclaimed by him. It’s a great shame, too. If leaders and elders do nothing, we must be careless,” George remarked.

PDP Discipline Committee Prejudice
The PDP National Disciplinary Committee, which is headed by Chief Tom Ikimi, is allegedly prejudiced in favor of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, according to George’s accusations made during the interview.

He revealed that this was a contributing factor in his decision to decline membership in the committee.

“Yes, the National Disciplinary Committee supports Atiku Abubakar. It is led by Chief Tom Ikimi, a former Foreign Affairs Minister. Atiku’s side is represented by the secretary of the same committee, Eyitayo Jegede, SAN, and they invited me to join. “No, I can’t,” I responded.

“First of all, Tom met me at this party,” he said, explaining why he had declined to serve on the committee. I am unable to work for him. Second, there was a distortion in the structure of the object. So, where do you begin?

National Secretary Decision by the Supreme Court
George said the party must accept the decision and move on in response to Friday’s Supreme Court decision that reinstated Samuel Anyanwu as the PDP National Secretary.

He said, “I’ve been informed that I should return since the Supreme Court rendered a decision this morning. We don’t feel guilty. We are idle. We can no longer appeal to anyone. Let’s return.

He pointed out that deciding the party’s course in the face of the ongoing crisis will be greatly influenced by the PDP national convention, which is anticipated to take place between October and November.
