- Dr. Don Pedro Obaseki criticizes Nyesom Wike for calling to suspend PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, stating that Wike has crossed a red line
- Obaseki warns that Wike’s actions may lead to consequences, and those who have supported him in the APC should be cautious
Dr. Don Pedro Obaseki, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) in the last election, has said that Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and former governor of Rivers State, has crossed a red line by calling for the suspension of the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Remember Wike saying on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’, “Look at the areas that the PDP did not win because of high-handedness, greed, and impunity.” You could have discussed it if the PDP had done what they were supposed to do.
There should be equity, justice, and fairness, and that is why I am calling on the National Working Committee to suspend the presidential candidate, as well as people like Aminu Tambuwal so that the party (PDP) can be rebuilt.
In an interactive session with journalists yesterday in Abuja, Obaseki said bigwigs in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) should also brace themselves for Wike’s “betrayal,” adding that the PDP will no longer accept impunity from Wike.
He said;
He is the most rewarded betrayer in the history of our recent politics. From his time with Rotimi Amaechi, Goodluck Jonathan, Peter Odili, Atiku Abubakar and now his time with Bola Tinubu.
Wike coming out to ask for the suspension of the number one leader of the party and the presidential flag bearer of the party and the recipient of the mandate of the Nigerian people as declared in INEC’s submission that we won 21 states and asking Atiku to be suspended from the party, Wike has crossed the red line and now, he should be ready.
He has all the money to fight us back because we are coming at him like a thousand bricks. I am sure Wike went to Law School. I am sure he is a lawyer and he knows that ‘he who is ready for peace should prepare for war.’
Nyesom Wike has touched the tiger’s tail, let him wait. The only extensional advice I am going to give is that those who have employed his dastardly betrayal and chicanery in the APC should watch their back.
