Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has stated that despite the internal crises, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will not die.
When Wike convened important party stakeholders on Monday night under the aegis of “Concerned Stakeholders of the PDP,” he made this statement.
Former governors Ifeanyi Uguanyi of Enugu, Samuel Ortom of Benue, and Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia were among those in attendance.
A few zonal and state party executives, former Senate Minority Leader Philip Aduda, current and past federal and state MPs, and PDP National Secretary Senator Samuel Anyanwu were also there.
Speaking at the gathering, Wike stated that the stakeholders who are worried are those who have always and continue to believe in the party’s existence.
“All of you here are those who are committed to the survival of our party not just on TV talking or on the newspapers talking but committed to the party at the various levels.
“Today, this country is stabilized because of the activities of the G5 Governors. You may like us, you may hate us. The truth of the matter is if G5 did not take the decision we took, this country would have been in crisis.
“It doesn’t matter who the beneficiary was but the right thing had to be done and we still stand by that decision.
“If the party had listened to what we said, we won’t have been where we are today and we have continued to sound it to the party, let the constitution of the party and of the country be respected.
“That, as an opposition party, we cannot continue to act with impunity. No opposition party acts with impunity. Ours is to continue to placate people and bring them together, not to say that they should go to hell.
“Let us not allow greed, let us not allow ego to kill our party,” he said.
