Chief Dele Momodu, said the Minister of FCT Nyesom Wike, that he is not the owner of PDP and, therefore, can be disciplined if any infraction is established against him.

VerseNews reported that Wike, who spoke exclusively on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Wednesday, said he has not seen the party chieftain who will suspend or expel him from the party.

“Who will discipline me? I should be the one calling for the discipline of these people who violated the party’s constitution, in the way that the party supported rotation.

“Who will suspend me? I want to dare anybody,” Wike said.

Responding to the Minister’s comment, Momodu said; “After watching the interview, I immediately called Mr Seun Okinbaloye of the Channels TV, and told him I wished I was in Nigeria and would have come to respond to the many arrogant lies he allowed Minister Nyesom Wike to get away with,”

“When did Wike become the sole owner of PDP that he cannot be disciplined by a 25-year-old political party? It would have been nice to know if he founded the party or when he acquired majority shares in it since he now has more money than Aliko Dangote.”

Momodu challenged Wike to quote the portion of the PDP constitution that stated that power must come to the south.

He stated regarding Wike, “He should tell the world the chairman of the zoning committee that threw the contest open to all zones of the party and why he agreed to buy the presidential nomination form.”

Momodu wondered, “When did Wike become the champion of the south?“Was it after his bid to be Vice President to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar was rejected or after requests to handpick the juiciest ministerial portfolios, like the one he got from Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, were rebuffed? Would he have continued to flagrantly badmouth Alhaji Atiku Abubakar if he had selected him as his running?

Momodu said Wike and four other governors were parading themselves as G5 while frolicking from Nigeria to Europe and back, saying, “Three of them from Benue, Enugu and Abia lost their senatorial bids, spectacularly and resoundingly.“Seun should have asked Wike, where are the other ‘suicide bombers’ today? Gone with the wind. The G-5 was always about one man’s ego and ambition.

“Wike claimed, contentiously, that he delivered Rivers State to Tinubu, only one state out of six in the South-south region. Was that enough to justify all this grandiloquent vituperation by Nigeria’s co-president, Wike?“

“His three acolytes couldn’t deliver and they’ve since been abandoned in the lurch!! What happened to their regular joint press conferences?”

Momodu alleged that Wike claimed all PDP governors sent ministerial nominations to Tinubu, but said, “He should tell us how many of them were eventually approved, except the one he handpicked from a neighbouring state. Wike forgot to recommend any member of the G-5. No nominee of Governor Seyi Makinde was visible on the ministerial list.”
