The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has slammed some leaders of the Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for declaring support for his successor Siminalayi Fubara.
The Former Governor made this statement during a chat with newsmen on Tuesday in Abuja.
Wike’s reaction is coming in the heels of recent statements credited to some leaders of PDP in the State.
Recall that Africa Update and other media houses had reported that some PDP leaders including former Minister of Transportation, Abiye Sekibo; ex-PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus; former Governor Celestine Omehia; and former federal lawmaker Austin Opara, had last week declared support for Fubara and called on the President to caution Wike.
However, reacting on Tuesday, Wike said Sekibo, Secondus, Omehia and Opara are all expired politicians who are not worthy to be called “elder statesmen”.
He reiterated that Secondus was no longer a member of the PDP as his suspension was validated by the Court, noting that the leaders were all irrelevant as he kicked them out of the party.
