Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A group, PDP Frontiers for Change and Progress has urged the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike to woo President Bola Tinubu to join the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, saying it would prove the Minister\u2019s loyalty to the umbrella party.<\/p>\n

The group said this in Umuahia on Tuesday while reacting to a statement credited to the FCT Minister where he allegedly faulted the Chairman of PDP Board of Trustees (BoT), Adolphus Wabara for his statements praising Abia State Governor, Alex Otti\u2019s achievements.<\/p>\n

The National coordinator of the group, Emeka Ikpegbu, who said that Wabara committed no offense trying to woo Governor Alex Otti to the PDP, challenged the former River State Governor to also convince President Bola Tinubu to join the PDP to cement his loyalty to the PDP beyond every doubt.<\/p>\n

\u201cWike should first bring his principal, President Bola Tinubu, who he praises everyday to the PDP before preaching to us about anti-party.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs there any anti-party as bad as a former Governor and a presidential aspirant in PDP serving as a Minister under APC? How many times has Wike publicly praised President Tinubu yet nobody has sanctioned him for anti-party.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy will he begin to lecture us now on how to sanction members for anti-party?\u201d He queried.<\/p>\n

The group, which told Wike to leave Wabara and PDP governors alone, also commended the governors and the party\u2019s BoT for their uncompromising stance in the Rivers State\u2019s political crisis, as well as for affirming Sunday Ude-Okoye as the party\u2019s National Secretary based on the Enugu Court of Appeal judgment.<\/p>\n

The group which predicted brighter future for the PDP in 2027, urged party faithful to resist any attempt to intimidate those striving to rescue and reposition the party.<\/p>\n
