Drama as PDP governors, national vice chairman, others storm Rivers to welcome Tinubu months after losing presidential election 

 

 

A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain in Osun State, Ifedolapo, has lamented over the party’s refusal not to take a drastic action against Governors Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and Seyi Makinde of Oyo State.

 

 

Ifedolapo said the PDP national has turned into a big joke in a tweet on Thursday, expressing his disappointment with the way the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) is handling the matter of Wike’s anti-party activities.

 

 

He wrote:

 

“PDP National has become a joke. Seyi Makinde led Arapaja, who is a PDP National Vice Chairman, to go and welcome Tinubu in Rivers State some weeks after the party lost Election and Their leaders even admitted working with Tinubu Arapaja will still wake up tomorrow as a member of the PDP National Working Committee, Wike, too, as PDP sitting Governor, same as Seyi Makinde.”

 

“The time is coming when we will leave the national politics to those jokers sincerely speaking. It’s becoming more annoying.”
