This was considered as a way of compensating Wike for the role he played during the election.<\/p>\n<p>With these developments, and Wike\u2019s hesitation to open up on his political stand, the fate of the APC in Rivers State and that of the PDP now hangs in the balance.<\/p>\n<p>Wike, a chieftain of the PDP, had on many occasions declared that he cannot be suspended by the party.<\/p>\n<p>The ex-governor had sued the PDP seeking to stop any form of disciplinary action against him.<\/p>\n<p>In the suit, marked: FHC\/ABJ\/CS\/139\/2023, he had prayed for an order directing all parties to maintain the status quo and stay all actions in the matter relating to the threat to suspend or expel him by the 1st to 5th respondents pending the hearing and determination of the originating motion.<\/p>\n<p>He asked the court to enforce his fundamental right to freedom of association which was allegedly about to be breached by the respondents.<\/p>\n<p>However, the court held that the PDP has the right to suspend or expel Wike if the action is done in accordance with the law.<\/p>\n<p>The PDP is yet to take any action against the former governor, a decision that has put the party in Rivers in a comatose state.<\/p>\n<p>It is the same scenario in the Rivers APC where the likes of former Governor of Rivers State and leader of the APC in the State, Chief Chibuike Amaechi, 2015 governorship candidate, Dakuku Peterside, 2019 and 2023 governorship candidate, Tonye Cole, among others in the camp of Amaechi, have been silenced.<\/p>\n<p>Wike is said to be in control of the faction of the APC led by Tony Okocha that cooperated with the PDP to ensure Tinubu\u2019s victory in the last election.<\/p>\n<p>The national Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Debo Ologunagba said he would have preferred to speak on other pressing national issues than waste his time on the alliance between Tinubu and Wike.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, Wike and Tinubu should be able to tell if their marriage was built upon a plot to kill the PDP, insisting that no individual, no matter how important, was bigger than the political party.<\/p>\n<p>His words, \u201cI don\u2019t have the time to comment on the marriage between Wike and Tinubu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe two of them should be able to tell the objective of their marriage- if the objective of their marriage is to kill the PDP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA party is not an individual. A party is beyond an individual. That is what most people don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are individuals that are very important in the party, no doubt, but the party is bigger than an individual who goes and the party remains.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also commenting on the matter, the Publicity Secretary of the APC in Rivers State, Darlington Nwauju said the Rivers APC was more concerned in making the President understand the importance of balancing his appointment and being guided by the party\u2019s constitution which mandates him to give priority to members of the party in his appointments.<\/p>\n<p>He admitted that the President has the right to appoint whoever he deems fit to serve in his cabinet but maintained that the Rivers APC was not comfortable being sidelined by its own government on national level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe APC leaders visited the national secretariat of the party yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese issues you raised are not secret. They are issues we\u2019ve also looked at and analysed as a political party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven the fact that the party has gone through a lot of struggles right from the formative stage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that the party has suffered a lot from the opposition in Rivers and has made a lot of sacrifices by not just in terms of resources but by losing human lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn one LGA alone, Ogba-Egbema Ndoni, we lost 150 persons to violence and this violence was purely for political reasons. So we believe that given the history of the APC in Rivers State starting from 2013 when the party was muscled using federal might in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd in 2019, external forces made sure we were not able to have our name on the ballot to contest in the general elections. So a party that has suffered all these tragedies should not find itself in the position that we\u2019ve found ourselves in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo that was why the leadership of the party decided to visit the national Secretariat. And the responses we got from the national Chairman of our party, Abdulahi Ganduje, are enough for our leaders because after that meeting yesterday, we had to go back to reappraise and to know if we got the kind of response we should get from our political party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe in the leadership of our political party to take up our complaints, fears and worries as a political party, to see that some of these errors are corrected. I would like to restrict myself not to talk about someone who is not a member of our political party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe immediate past Governor of Rivers State is not a member of the APC. So I wouldn\u2019t want to discuss persons who are not members of my party,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Wike\u2019s appointment, Nwauju said, \u201cWe must not deny the fact that, constitutionally, Mr. President is the President of Nigeria. And beyond the boundaries of political parties, he has the rights to appoint whosoever he considers fit to carry out any particular function in his cabinet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are running a presidential system and in a presidential system the bulk of selection and decision lies with the President.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we must submit to the fact that the President has the constitutional right to make appointments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur political party\u2019s constitution too, which serves as a guide, allows those who have been elected either at LGA, State or National levels to give priority to members of our political party. So these are the issues. Striking a balance is now the duty of the leadership at those levels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow can we be comfortable [with the appointment of Wike] and you saw us talking about it and you see a series of protestations and also we\u2019ve made our position abundantly clear on the fact that appointments have been given to persons who are not members of the party and those protestations have been noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has agreed to take up these issues. You need to balance the interest of members of your party and the larger interest of the society.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo as members of the political party of Mr. President, we\u2019ve said, \u2018yes you have the right to make these appointments but we want you to also consider members of your political party\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if the President is, by his body language, angry with the Rivers APC, he said, \u201cI\u2019m not a suit-sayer. I cannot begin to imagine that the President is angry with the APC in Rivers State. The presidency should be answering that question.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A political analyst and top member of the APC in the State, Wanendah Wali, said the former Governor was free to make his choice on how he intends to drive his political career.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cDemocracy is about choice. You cannot tell anybody what political choices they want to make.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the former Governor of Rivers decides to be part of the APC government, I don\u2019t see anything wrong with it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he decides to leave the PDP and join the APC, I don\u2019t see anything wrong with it. And if he decides not to join any political party&#8230; [there\u2019s nothing wrong with that].<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter all, this isn\u2019t the first time somebody who\u2019s not a member of the ruling party is made a Minister&#8230; I truly don\u2019t see any issue there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have just gone through an election circle and the elections are over. So what we should be talking about now is governance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe PDP, until court says otherwise, they\u2019re the government in power in Rivers and should focus on governance and the APC should be watching what they\u2019re doing and in case they\u2019re not doing well, should be like a gatekeeper for Rivers people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
