Breaking: Again Wike Fails as PDP Rejects Report from His Calabar Event

Efforts by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike to take over the structure of the PDP has suffered a major setback as the National Secretariat of the Party has rejected a report submitted to it from the sham South South Zonal Congress in Calabar, Cross River State, which the PDP had dismissed as a social gathering that had nothing to do with the Party.

The said report dated 26th February 2025 and signed by the suspended National Vice Chairman, South South, Chief Dan Orbih, was yesterday stamped REJECTED by the Party’s National Secretariat, Abuja.

The rejection of the report by the Party’s National Secretariat invalidates claims by Wike and his loyalists that the Party had conducted the South South Zonal Congress.

Recall that the National Working Committee of the PDP on Thursday February 20, 2025 announced the postponement of the Party’s South South Zonal Congress citing need for further consultation with stakeholders in the Zone.

The PDP in an official statement on February 22, 2025 emphasized that it has not conducted its South South Zonal Congress and it has yet to communicate a date for the exercise.

“The PDP calls on all party members in the South South Zone, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Security Agencies and the Media to disregard any gathering or outcome of any gathering in Calabar, Cross River State purported to be the South South Zonal Congress of the PDP.

“Our Party will in due course and through its official channels communicate a new date for the conduct of the South South Zonal Congress” the statement read.
