JUST IN: PDP To Suspend Wike, Others? Party Chieftain Finally Opens Up Amidst Rumours; Reveals Their Plans
Olagunsoye Oyinlola, the Chairman of the National Reconciliation Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has dispelled rumors regarding the possible suspension of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and other prominent members of the party. Speculation about Wike’ s suspension had been circulating amid allegations that he, alongside three former governors, worked against the PDP during the 2023 general elections.
Speaking after a crucial meeting with members of the National Assembly on Monday, Oyinlola brushed aside the claims, calling them baseless rumors. He made it clear that any discussions about such actions would be premature without the involvement of the party’ s leadership. ” Until after the committee’ s meeting on Tuesday with the National Working Committee (NWC), I will regard Wike’ s suspension as nothing more than rumors, ” he asserted.

Wike, who was recently appointed as the FCT Minister, has come under scrutiny within certain PDP circles. However, he has remained firm in his position, asserting that he is not distracted by internal crises within his home state of Rivers. Wike emphasized his focus on his new role, stating that his priority lies in the effective governance of the FCT.
Oyinlola, a former governor of Osun State, further elaborated on the purpose of his meeting with lawmakers, explaining that the discussions centered around the current challenges facing the PDP and the steps necessary to rejuvenate its political strength. According to him, the party leadership is focused on bringing unity and cohesion back to the PDP, as these are crucial for electoral success.
“We have had useful discussions and received valuable suggestions on how to unite our party and make it a formidable force again, “Oyinlola said, emphasizing the importance of solidarity. He added, “For any party to go into battle and win, it must be united. That is our goal.’
The reconciliation committee has been actively working to resolve internal differences within the PDP, touring key regions in the country as part of its efforts. Oyinlola noted that they had recently concluded a tour of the South West, where the focus was on strengthening the party’ s base ahead of the Ondo State governorship election scheduled for November 16, 2024.
While Oyinlola declined to reveal specific strategies for the upcoming election, he expressed confidence in the party’ s preparedness. ” As a general with 30 years of experience, you don’ t reveal your strategy publicly if you want to win the war, “he remarked, signaling that the party is keeping its cards close to its chest.
The reconciliation committee’s efforts are seen as critical to restoring the PDP’ s fortunes following a disappointing performance in the 2023 elections. Oyinlola’ s call for unity is expected to resonate with party faithful, as the PDP looks to rebuild ahead of future political contests.
With a looming governorship election in Ondo State, the coming weeks are pivotal for the party as it seeks to prove its resilience and ability to recover from internal conflicts. Whether the PDP can consolidate and emerge stronger remains to be seen, but Oyinlola’ s leadership of the reconciliation process is viewed as a step in the right direction.
