PDP vows to sanction Wike over anti-party acts

The Peoples Democratic Party has vowed to sanction its members who participated in anti-party activities during the general election, including the former governor, Nyesom Wike.

Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, the acting National Chairman of the party Umar Damagum said the party would take the necessary measures when the report is presented to the National Working Committee (NWC).

Damagum insisted that, “If Wike believes he is above this party, we will be able to show him that he is not above this party.”

“Our stand about Wike, I have always said this thing that as long as you are a member of the PDP, there is a time for everything. My duty is to stabilise this party and not to cause crisis. And I will continue to do that within the confines of reason.

“When things go out of hand, we will act. But meanwhile, we still see it within the ambit of the law. Mind you, we have other litigation going on in this party and we won’t want to plunge our party into another crisis.

“And let me tell you something, it’s not only Wike, there are other people who worked against this party. When we get to that level we will sanction everybody. If Wike believes he is above this party, we will be able to show him that he is not above this party.”
