Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has vowed to sanction the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike for working against the party.<\/p>\n

PDP Acting National Chairman, Umar Damagum, disclosed this at a news conference in Abuja on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Damagum\u2019s remark followed the crisis in Rivers State between Wike and Governor Siminalayi Fubara.<\/p>\n

The face-off between the duo had led to 25 PDP lawmakers in the state defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC.<\/p>\n

About seven commissioners have also resigned their appointments.<\/p>\n

Aggrieved by rift over the control of political structure and finances in the state, President Bola Tinubu had made the duo sign a peace accord after a meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, during the 2023 presidential election, Wike and the G-5 governors had worked against PDP\u2019s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.<\/p>\n

While Wike worked for President Bola Tinubu, former governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State worked for Labour Party\u2019s Peter Obi; Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State also worked for Tinubu.<\/p>\n

However, Damagum said all PDP members working against the interest of the party will be sanctioned.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWe are not unmindful of the fact that it\u2019s not only Wike; there are other people that have also worked against his party.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we get to that level, we will sanction everybody. If Wike believes he is above this party, we will show him he is not above this party.\u201d<\/p>\n
