FredFish Fumes, Accuses Wike of Sabotaging PDP

In an explosive tirade, Dr. Tom FredFish, a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Akwa Ibom State, has hurled a bombshell accusation at the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike: he's trying to destroy the opposition party from within!

Addressing a gathering of journalists in Uyo, FredFish, who holds the title of Chairman of the PDP Advocate for Peace and Justice (PAPAJ), called the higher-ups in the PDP to muster their courage and kick Wike out of the party using constitutional means.

Wike had earlier stated that no one holds the authority to expel him from the PDP. But FredFish wasn't backing down, insisting that Wike has been undermining the party's interests, a clear violation of the party's constitution, ideals, and principles.

FredFish wasn't done yet. He took aim at Wike's claims of working tirelessly for the PDP. "If Mr. Wike says he's working hard for the party, what kind of hard work is he doing?" FredFish questioned, "Is it positive or negative?"

He accused Wike of undermining the PDP during the 2023 presidential race by colluding with other parties and orchestrating the defection of members of the Rivers State House of Assembly who were loyal to him.

"Is he not the same Wike who openly worked against the PDP in the 2023 presidential election?" FredFish thundered, "And who conspired with, encouraged, and ordered the 27 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly that are loyal to him to decamp to the APC and work against the interests of Rivers State controlled by the PDP?"

"As far as the PDP Advocate for Peace and Justice is concerned," FredFish concluded, "Wike was appointed to destroy the PDP, and he's doing a fine job of it. He shouldn't expect party faithful across the country to cheer him on for undermining the party leadership."

FredFish then appealed to the PDP Board of Trustees, led by Senator Adolfus Wabara, former Vice President of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, former Senate President, Senator David Mark, and other party leaders, to rally around the National Working Committee and evict Wike from the party using sections 10(6), 57, and 58 of the PDP Constitution as amended in 2017.

  1. In the ongoing political landscape of Nigeria, Dr. Tom FredFish's accusations against Minister Wike, accusing him of sabotaging the PDP from within, has escalated the general news and politics discourse in Lagos and other regions of the country.
  2. Despite Wike's assertions of his untouchability within the PDP, the calls for his expulsion from the party by FredFish, the Chair of the PDP Advocate for Peace and Justice, persist, as Wike's actions allegedly contradict the party's constitution, ideals, and principles.
  3. In the heart of Nigeria's politics, the APC, led by prominent figures like Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is keenly observing the unfolding events between PDP members like FredFish and Wike, given the potential implications for policy-and-legislation in the Senate and presidency.
  4. In the aftermath of the explosive accusations hurled at Wike, it remains to be seen whether the PDP Board of Trustees, chaired by Senator Adolfus Wabara and other party leaders, will succeed in using the constitutional means to evict Wike from the PDP, as urged by FredFish.
  5. As the PDP navigates through this turbulent phase, other high-profile political figures, such as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Senate President Senator David Mark, are expected to weigh in on the matter, possibly steering the party towards a more united front.
  6. The escalating power struggle within the PDP, brought to light by FredFish's accusations against Wike, highlights the importance of maintaining unity within political parties to ensure effective policy-making and successful elections, not only in Akwa Ibom State, but across Naija, and ultimately, Nigeria.
