Umar Sani, Senior Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to former Vice President Namadi Sambo, has hinted that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may take disciplinary action against Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Sani shared this insight during an appearance on Arise TV’s Morning Show, stating that Wike is not above the PDP party rules and could face sanction.
Sani explained that the PDP’s disciplinary committee, now active under Chief Tom Ikimi’s leadership, is addressing issues that were not handled during Wike’s alleged infractions. He emphasized that while Wike’s actions were seen as a personal conflict with Abubakar Atiku, the real drive for discipline now comes from the Governors’ Forum.
Sani remarked: “The issue has been oversimplified as a clash between Abubakar Atiku and Nyesom Wike. But the Governors’ Forum, which had been dormant, is now stepping in to resolve the crisis.”
He also clarified that, while legal challenges might prevent certain actions against officials, they do not shield party members from suspension or disciplinary measures. With the newly formed committee, Sani urged patience, stating, “Let’s give them time to do their job before assuming Wike is above party rules. Let’s see if they recommend disciplinary action against him.”
This development follows growing tension within the PDP, as the party looks to address infractions by its members and enforce its rules.
