Former Federal Commissioner for Information and South – South Leader, Chief Edwin Clark, has called for immediate expulsion of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT Abuja), Barrister Nyesom Wike, from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Clark made the call in an open letter addressed to the Acting National Chairman of PDP, Amb Umar Illiya Damagum, and read to journalists on Tuesday at his Asokoro Abuja residence.
According to him, the survival of PDP ahead of the 2027 general elections lied in flushing out enemies within the party, most of whom were working hand in gloves with Wike.
“Wike’s naked dance at the market square with one leg in PDP and the other leg in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has turned into national political shame and embarrassment which must be stopped with expulsion from PDP.
“In a nutshell, Wike must go, for PDP to survive”, he said.
He chronicled all the anti-party activities Wike had committed against PDP since late 2022 to warrant his expulsion from the party, aside insulting, intimidating and harassing faithful party members in and outside Rivers state.
One of such, according to the elder statesman, was an alleged threat Wike sent to the Chairman, Board of Trustees of PDP and former President of the Senate, Adolphus Wabara, for suggesting disciplinary action against those indulging in anti-party activities in April this year.
“As expected of a BOT chairman desirous to make things work well in his party, Sen. Wabara called out that actions be taken against members carrying out anti-party activities.
“To Barrister Wike, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees has committed an offence by stating that measures should be taken against erring members.
“For this reason, Barrister Wike wrote a stinker in the form of a letter to him, using unprintable languages, and even threatening him, that he was coming for him, saying “how would your late wife feel the way you embarrass yourself and your family?”
