He equally stressed that the party’s just-concluded national elective convention in Ibadan, Oyo State, was legally compliant, dismissing criticisms that the party acted late in disciplining Wike and others.
A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Umar Sani, has said the expulsion of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, along with other party members, is long overdue and “better late than never.”
Umar made this statement on Monday in an interview on Arise Television.
He equally stressed that the party’s just-concluded national elective convention in Ibadan, Oyo State, was legally compliant, dismissing criticisms that the party acted late in disciplining Wike and others.
The former spokesman of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council emphasised that the party had attempted internal reconciliation through the Ambassador Hassan Adamu Committee, which sought to mediate between the disputing camps.
“We wanted to resolve this as a family but it became clear there was no way to do so. Wike himself described it as a dispute among family members. One of his conditions was that we agree not to field a presidential candidate in 2027. We cannot wait for a fight to finish; we have to end the fight,” Sani said.
The PDP stalwart also defended the timing of the disciplinary actions, adding, “The actions we took are better late than never.”
Sani also clarified the confusion over the presence of election observers at the convention.
He recalled that at the event, the master of ceremonies initially introduced certain individuals as INEC officials but the Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, corrected the record, stating they were national election observers and not representatives of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
