Anti-party: Why Wike, others were not punished at PDP NEC meeting – Reps caucus Chairman, Agbedi

Chairman of the South-South Caucus of the House of Representatives, Hon. Fred Agbedi, has revealed why the likes of former Governor of Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Wike was not sanctioned during the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting in Abuja on Monday.

According to him, Wike is not the only member of the party that has committed and is still committing anti-party, adding that even to date, some leaders of the party were campaigning for the incumbent government.

However, the lawmaker said the PDP now understands the kind of crisis it is going through and is trying to resolve.

He said that there is every indication that the PDP, known to be the main opposition party in Nigeria, will emerge stronger, united, and well-organised ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Speaking about internal conflicts and anti-party activities even by some governors elected on the party’s platform, the lawmaker explained that the party’s focus is on rebuilding its structure for now and will not be chasing those individuals.

“It’s not about Wike alone. It is beyond Wike. You know, there are a lot of others who have played anti-party in one way or the other, who are members of PDP, who are saying, ‘No, no, no, I’m going to support so-and-so person, I’m going to vote for so-and-so person.’

“That’s clearly anti-party. But because PDP understands the kind of crisis it is going through and is resolving, it will not be chasing those people.

“Rather, it will organize itself first before it thinks of the appropriate way to deal with matters like that.

“There are certain decisions that if you are the leader, you cannot take in a hurry. You take time, you navigate the contour in such a way that if you are taking a decision, the decision will lead you to land safely.

“As of today, I don’t think that the priority of PDP will be to drive one person or the other out of the party.

“We know those who are playing some excessive roles, some actions that are inimical to the destruction or survival of the party.

“We’re taking note. And I’m sure that at the appropriate time, appropriate actions will be taken by the party.”

State House of Assembly suspends LG chairman

The Nasarawa State House of Assembly has suspended the Chairman of Lafia Local Government, Mohammad Haliru Arabo, for three months over his role in the unlawful removal of the council’s Speaker.

The decision was taken during plenary in Lafia after a motion was raised by Musa Ibrahim Abubakar, who leads the House Committee on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.

Lawmakers agreed that the action was needed to allow a fair investigation and calm the tension that followed the leadership dispute in the council.

The Speaker of the House, Danladi Jatau, said the suspension will stand until the committee completes its findings.

He said that the current structure of the Lafia Legislative Arm will remain unchanged throughout the investigation.

During this period, the Deputy Chairman of Lafia Local Government, Uba Arikiya, has been directed to take charge of the council.

The Speaker explained that the House acted within the powers given to it by the constitution and questioned why the Chairman ventured into matters that belong to the legislature.

The Clerk of the House has been asked to notify Governor Abdullahi Sule of the resolution.

Lawmakers such as Hajarat Danyaro Ibrahim, Mohammed Garba Isimbabi, Suleiman Yakubu Azara, and Larry Ven-Bawa backed the move, saying that the suspension would help prevent a wider crisis in the council and send a clear message to other local governments in the state.
