But now, he aims to ruin it,\u201d Lamido said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI refuse to attend PDP meetings when they have fake members there. I am still a loyal member, but I won\u2019t dignify this nonsense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lamido also criticized the Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, for sealing the PDP national secretariat, a move he attributed to Wike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShutting down the PDP secretariat, the very institution that aided your political career, is un-African, un-Nigerian, and a huge abuse of power,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWike\u2019s mindset is flawed; he lacks the cultural and moral foundation that our political tradition requires.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lamido also criticized the PDP\u2019s National Working Committee, NWC, for failing to expel Wike and others allegedly involved in anti-party activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is the NWC afraid of exactly?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy hasn\u2019t Wike been kicked out? Why is former Governor of Benue, Samuel Ortom, still holding a position in the Board of Trustees after openly endorsing Tinubu?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are fundamental breaches. If this party is to survive, it must cleanse itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lamido praised the President for giving defaulters a 14-day ultimatum to pay outstanding FCT ground rents.<\/p>\n<p>He alleged that Wike ordered the closure of the PDP headquarters in order to gain favor with Tinubu, stating that the President will eventually abandon him for his insincerity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIronically, the man Wike is trying to impress was the one who called him to order. That tells you everything,\u201d Lamido said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven Tinubu is beginning to see that Wike is unreliable, lacking tradition and pedigree. And I assure you, he will soon abandon him too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lamido also addressed concerns about Nigeria sliding into a one-party state, calling it \u201cstate-sponsored sabotage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The PDP has been struggling with internal conflicts since 2022.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
