PDP, has vowed to sanction members, who worked against its corporate interests, including the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, at the appropriate time. Acting Chairman said “If Wike believes he is above this party, we will be able to show him that he is not above this party.”
Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Amb. Umar Damagum, said this while responding to questions from journalists at the party’s National Secretariat, Abuja, on Tuesday.
According to him, the party was guided by its constitution, laws and regulations. As such, they would not shy away from wielding the big stick against those, whose conduct flout these, when cases of infractions are established.
Damagum said, “And our stand about our 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 stabilize 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 litigations going on in this party we won’t want to plunge our party into another crisis.
“Let me tell you something, is 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.
“One thing I am conscious about is that there was never a time he said, his not a member of this party.
“The same members of this party, that believe he has done something wrong, have also done something wrong to the party.
“Meanwhile, recently we have approved and are about to inaugurate the 2023 Review Committee.“
“They are to review what happened in 2023 and come out with a report not only about a person, but about every person, who has one way or another engaged in anti-party. Then after that, we will see what kind of measure to take.”
