South-South leader and former Federal Commissioner for Information, Chief Edwin Clark, has urged Ambassador Iliya Damagun, the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to lead Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), out of the PDP ensure the party's survival.
As he announced that he is writing a book titled “PDP: To Be or Not to Be,” Clark highlighted the irony that Wike, after harshly criticising former Governors Bello Matawalle (Zamfara), Dave Umahi (Ebonyi), and Ben Ayade (Cross River) for joining the All Progressives Congress (APC), is now "dancing naked" with that very party.
He said, “After conceding that former Rivers State governor Peter Odili and his wife made him what he is today and will forever remain grateful to them, he is now abusing them. I won’t allow him to destroy Rivers State.
Clark accuses Wike of intimidating Governor Fubara
The Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) leader, during a press briefing at his Asokoro residence in Abuja on Tuesday, August 20, read an open letter addressed to the Acting National Chairman of the PDP where he made it clear that he could not stand by and watch as the minister continued to bully Rivers state governor.
He accused the former Rivers State Governor of using his proximity to President Tinubu to allegedly bully Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara and exert pressure on the party.
Situation could consume Wike, others, Clark warns
He alleged that Wike, having been unable to use the APC to disrupt the PDP, is now directing the party’s power inward against itself.
Noting that he had been a politician even before Wike was born, the leader of the Southern and Middle-Belt Leaders Forum (SMBLF) cautioned Damagun that if the Minister isn't stopped, the matter will eventually consume both Wike, him, and their allies.
