The governors elected on the platform of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, have made “the final move” to suspend Nyesom Wike from
the party.
Nyesom Wike is the Minister of Federal Capital
Territory, FCT, Abuja.
He was a also a two-term governor of oil rich Rivers
State.
Over a reasonable length of time, Nyesom Wike has been
in tango with his successor in office, governor Siminalayi Fubara, over the
control of governance in the State.
To maintain a controlling balance in the PDP structure
in the State, Wike who is a current minister in the All Progressives Congress,
APC government in Abuja has put his deft political machinery in good use by
ensuring that those who matter in PDP are loyal to him.
To a very large extent, this has angered many in the
party who feel it is wrong for Wike to be working in APC government and retain
his controlling influence in PDP.
After several maneuvering and given his antics to
unseat Fubara as Rivers governor, twelve PDP governors have been in a
closed-door meeting in Asaba, the Delta State capital.
It was also gathered that the governors, who arrived
at the government house in Asaba last night, have been in the meeting since
morning.
Top on the agenda, according to insider is the final
plan to suspend Wike from the party.
Coming just few days when Rivers State Governor, Sir
Siminalayi Fubara, stated that his resolve to work harmoniously with the
Chairman of PDP Governors’ Forum, Senator Bala Mohammed, is to reposition the
party in the right direction, insiders confide in OpenLife Friday afternoon
that the Asaba meeting is “To suspend Nyesom Wike.”
