Robinson Ewor, factional chairman of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) in Rivers state, says Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital
territory (FCT), is working to destroy the opposition from within.
Ewor said Wike should no longer be considered a member of
the PDP, having openly pledged loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He spoke on Monday during an interview on ‘The Morning
Show,’ a programme aired by Arise Television.
“I have said it in different fora, and I will repeat it
here: Nyesom Wike, FCT minister, is no longer a member of the PDP,” he said.
“Nyesom Wike today exists in PDP because he’s on a mission
to destroy the PDP, to destroy the opposition in the country, not just Rivers
state.”
Ewor accused Wike of interfering in PDP leadership decisions
while serving in an APC-led federal government.
“That is why today he is insisting that Sam Anyanwu remains
national secretary. What is his business? You are serving an APC government,”
he said.
“You have pledged your loyalty to the APC. You have said it
openly and publicly that you will support the APC in the 2027 general
election.”
He said Wike has no business meddling in PDP matters,
describing his continued presence in the party as a calculated ploy.
“In good conscience, let’s leave the law and everybody. In
good conscience, can Nigerians still see Wike as a member of the PDP? The
answer is no,” Ewor said.
“To us in Rivers, Wike is no longer a member of the PDP.
He’s only here to destroy the PDP, to destroy the opposition.
“And the president is helping him. That is the irony of it.
The president is funding Wike to destroy the opposition.”
On Friday, Wike said he wanted the outright removal of
Siminalayi Fubara as governor of Rivers state.
“As a politician, I am not happy about the state of
emergency in Rivers state,” Wike said.
“I wanted the outright removal of Governor Fubara. The
president, by declaring a state of emergency, saved Fubara.”
