Wike described those who visited him as stakeholders of the PDP, saying they believe in the survival of the party.
FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike has revealed how the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP can survive its current crisis.
Wike said the party will survive if it adheres strictly to its constitution and the 1999 Constitution.
Wike, who is the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, stated this on Monday in Abuja at a meeting with former Governors Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), Samuel Ortom (Benue), and Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia).
The meeting also had in attendance Senator Anyanwu; former Senate Minority Leader Philip Aduda; serving and former federal and state lawmakers; and zonal and state party executives.
Wike described those who visited him as stakeholders of the PDP, saying they believe in the survival of the party.
According to Wike, the PDP would not have been boxed into its current situation if it had listened to the advice of the “Group of Five Governors (G5).”
He recalled the agitation of the five governors for presidential zoning or rotation, noting that it has stabilized the polity.
He cautioned against double standards, wondering why only the National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, was prevented from returning to his position after losing the Imo State governorship poll.
Wike said: “All of you here are those who are committed to the survival of our party, not just on TV talking or in the newspapers talking, but you are committed to the party at the various levels.
“Today, this country is stabilized because of the activities of the G5 Governors. You may like us, you may hate us. The truth of the matter is that if the G5 did not take the decision we took, this country would have been in crisis.
“It doesn’t matter who the beneficiary was, but the right thing had to be done and we still stand by that decision.
“If the party had listened to what we said, we wouldn’t have been where we are today, and we have continued to sound it to the party: let the constitution of the party and of the country be respected.”
