Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, today said the crisis rocking the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is over for now with the recent exit of some bigwigs.
He stated this during a media parley in Abuja, while reacting to the exit of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar from the party, reports Channels TV.
Wike, however, said that there were some issues remaining for the party to properly address.
“The crisis in PDP is over for now, because there are still some things remaining,” Wike said.
The former Rivers State governor also gave conditions that will make lasting peace return to the PDP.
He insisted that the South-South zonal congress of the party must stand.
According to the minister, the court allowed for the congress to hold, saying there’s nothing a person could do about it.
“Our South-South zonal congress that was held must be upheld. There’s no doubt, no two ways about it.
“Now, when we were doing our South-South congress, the acting National Chairman claimed that the PDP governors were not in support of the national congress. Where are the PDP governors now? Our congress was held in Calabar and there’s nothing anybody can tell us.
“If they want another round of crisis, so be it. Our congress held and Chief Dan Orbih emerged as the National Vice Chairman from the congress. And the court allowed for the congress to hold,” Wike stated.
