Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Abdullahi Ibrahim, has criticised Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, accusing him of embarrassing the party with his repeated interference.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview with Arise News on Wednesday, Ibrahim said Wike\u2019s decision to issue six conditions ahead of the party\u2019s forthcoming national convention was outrageous, especially as he is currently serving in an All Progressives Congress (APC) government.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are you coming up with six conditions?\u201d Ibrahim asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are giving PDP conditions, and the entire country is laughing at us all because of one individual who is on the APC\u2019s payroll. Enough is enough. We have to draw the line; he cannot continue like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

The PDP spokesman explained that while he once supported Wike\u2019s stance against the party\u2019s zoning arrangement before the 2023 elections, the minister\u2019s actions have now gone beyond genuine concerns.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have spoken up for him more than anyone else in this party, justifying his stand against the zoning formula in 2023. I have supported him in many battles. But there comes a time when a responsible person must stop,\u201d Ibrahim said.<\/p>\n

According to Ibrahim, the PDP must protect its image and unity by resisting any further attempts at blackmail or distraction.<\/p>\n
