PDP crisis: Wike calls for expulsion of Atiku, Tambuwal, lamido from the party

Former governor of Rivers State and current minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesome Wike, has requested that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Working Committee (NWC) suspend it’s presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar. 

Additionally, the PDP leader wants Sule Lamido and Aminu Tambuwal expelled from the largest opposition group.

In an interview with Channels Television, Wike claimed he and the other G5 members deserved praise for their efforts in promoting justice, equity, and fairness inside the party.

He said,

“I’m calling on the National Working Committee of the party to, as a matter of urgency, suspend the presidential candidate of the party, suspend Aminu Tambuwal, suspend Sule Lamido …”

Asked why he thinks he shouldn’t be suspended too, Wike added, “They know I didn’t do anything wrong. They should be congratulating us for fighting for equity, fairness and justice… ”

When asked if he was not fighting against the will of the party, Wike added that the party was fighting against Nigerians.

“Is the party not against Nigerians? Who is superior? Is the party superior to Nigerians?

“There is a Constitution. But because you think you have the power, you don’t want to follow the Constitution.

“They think they can do anything without anybody which they know is not possible. You can’t succeed,” he further stated.
