Wike orders removal of PDP flags in Government House

A day after the former Vice President and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the embittered Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Nyesom Wike met in Abuja, in a move aimed at resolving the differences in the main opposition party ahead of the 2023 general elections, Wike has ordered removal of all PDP flags in the Government House

It was gathered that governor Wike instructed the Rivers state Government house CSO to pull down all PDP Flags in the Government House

Recall that this news platform had earlier reported how the Board of Trustees (BoT) of PDP also set up a committee to reconcile the “warring factions” in the party.

Speaking on the reconciliatory moves by the party, Walid Jibril, the PDP BoT chairman said the meeting will generate “strong recommendations” that will lead to the reconciliation of aggrieved members, including Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers state.

Meanwhile the crisis rocking the opposition party may not abate soon as indications emerged yesterday that the leadership of the party appears to be dilly-dallying with the request made by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, a situation that has led to a standoff between opposing camps in the party.

The PDP has been embroiled in internal crisis following the nomination of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State as its vice-presidential candidate

Wike, who came second in the presidential primary won by Atiku Abubakar, had been giving a cold shoulder to the party after losing the vice-presidential slot to Okowa.

He had been meeting with some prominent members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), though he insisted he would not leave PDP.
