The Conference of Professionals in the Peoples Democratic Party (CP-PDP) has urged the national leadership of the party to invoke relevant provisions of the PDP Constitution and strike out the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Chief Nyesom Wike, out of the party.
While speaking after the group’s weekly technical review meeting in Abuja on Sunday, the National Coordinator of the CP-PDP, Barr. Obinna Nwachukwu, said the open declaration of former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike for All Progressive Congress has violates the party’s constitution
He stated: “The FCT Minister has publicly aligned with the APC to pursue their victory in the 2026 FCT Council election and the 2027 Presidential election, in direct breach of Section 10(6) of the PDP Constitution (2017 as amended), which prohibits members from aligning with other parties to undermine the PDP.”
Nwachukwu stated further that the actions of FCT Minister has effectively relinquished his membership of the PDP and he should no longer be considered as a party member.
“By publicly declaring loyalty to the APC, Chief Wike has declared for the APC. He can no longer be deemed a member of the PDP,” he added.
Wike was also accused by CP-PDP for constantly violating the Section 58 of the PDP Constitution through his public attacks on the party and its leadership.
The PDP Professionals also urged the National Working Committee (NWC) to take immediate action by invoking Sections 29(2)(b) and 59(1) to expel Wike from the party, warning that continued tolerance of his actions is harmful to the unity and integrity of the party.
“The delay in expelling Wike is now vexatious to loyal party members. The NWC must act decisively,” Nwachukwu said.
The group also directed all it’s professional members within the party to deviate from any political ties with Wike, to foster unity and stability in the party system.
