Timothy Osadolor, a member of the PDP National Executive Committee and Deputy National Youth Leader, has called on the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) and the governors’ forum to deal with Nyesom Wike’s warnings to the PDP.
Osadolor disapproved of Wike’s warnings to the PDP governors, describing them as unnecessary and unpleasant.
He said, “I think the speech by former governor Wike was very unnecessary and unsavoury.
“Wike’s statement is unfortunate. A man who should be busy apologising to the party or trying to seek reconciliation should not be grandstanding, throwing tantrums, and issuing threats to governors who are keeping the party’s flag flying.
“So, I think it’s high time the Governors’ Forum and the NWC sat down and took a position on leaders like Wike, no matter how highly placed or how much interest the person has.
“They need to address such leaders squarely and draw the line firmly and clearly so that in the future you won’t have these types of people playing larger than life in the PDP.
“The party is supreme and must act as a supreme entity. I believe that an adequate response should be given to the threat he (Wike) was making.”
Osadolor mentioned that Wike has spoken too much, suggesting that it is now necessary to ask the FCT minister to decide between the PDP and the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Osadolor noted, “What that means is that if he wants to be in the party, he must play and live by the rules; if he wants to be outside the party, let him be outside the party umbrella and throw his tantrums.
“But his move to remain in the party while undermining it will not be tolerated.”
