The suspended federal lawmaker, NewsWeek Nigeria, gathered is a loyalist of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

 

Different political analysts familiar with the matter have opined that if the party fails to resolve the caretaker committee list which favours the camp of his predecessor and the current Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, the embattled Governor Fubara will have no any other options rather than to join the Labour Party to secure his political career.

 

Meanwhile, Primate Ayodele has predicted that the PDP will lose a South-South Governor to Labour Party.

According to the leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Ayodele, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is set to suffer a notable setback in the South-South region, with a sitting governor defecting to the Labour Party.

 

Ayodele, renowned for his insightful prophecies, stated that the current management of the PDP is steering the party towards deeper crises.

Citing leadership turmoil as a primary cause, he foresees a mass exodus of influential figures from the party.

 

His statement, conveyed through his spokesperson Oluwatosin Osho and made available to NewsWeek Nigeria, Ayodele highlights the imminent defection of a prominent South-South governor to the Labour Party.

 

He said; ‘’A sitting governor in PDP will decamp, a prominent governor in South-South will decamp to the Labour party. The current management will put PDP in a big problem, If PDP isn’t careful, the party will become a forgotten factor in the country.’’

The prophet further noted that although the current leadership will plunge the party into more issues, a powerful person will take over the party.

“The management will compress the PDP, they will put the party into more crisis but I see a powerful person coming to take over the party,” he said..

 

Primate Ayodele also disclosed that a third force would emerge, adding that it would be a coalition of aggrieved members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and PDP.

 

He warned that the coalition would be a strong movement.

 

‘’However, I still see a third force that will be formed by aggrieved members of APC and PDP, it will be a strong one; both parties should prepare,’’ he added

 

Why We Can’t Review Rivers Caretaker C’ttee List — PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Tuesday, said it cannot take any action on the contentious Rivers State Caretaker Committee list because of an ex-parte order issued by the Federal High Court in Abuja restraining it from doing so.

 

The National Working Committee (NWC) of PDP stated this after its “extensive deliberation” over the matter.

 

Recall that the Rivers State governor, Siminalayi Fubara, had rejected the Rivers State Caretaker Committee list published by the NWC because it favoured his predecessor and Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister, Nyesom Wike.

 

The PDP caucus had last week resolved that the list should should be revisited.

 

But, a statement by the national publicity secretary of PDP, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, said: “The National Working Committee (NWC) at its emergency meeting today, Tuesday, April 23, 2024 reviewed the issue of the Caretaker Committee of River State.

 

“After an extensive deliberation the NWC noted the existence of an Ex-Parte Order issued by the Federal High Court, Abuja restraining the NWC from further action with respect to the status of the Rivers State Caretaker Committee List as published.

 

“However, while the Rivers State Caretaker Committee List as published stands in compliance with the Order of the Court, the NWC notes the concerted intervention and efforts of various Organs of the Party, particularly the PDP Governors’ Forum to finding a political solution to the issue of the River State Caretaker Committee.

 

“The NWC therefore resolved to, in conjunction with the PDP Governors’ Forum, intensify action in the continuing consultation to resolving the issues of the Rivers State PDP Chapter amicably”.

 

PDP Suspends Rivers Federal Lawmker Loyal to Governor Fubara

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended the member representing Andoni/Opobo/Nkoro Federal Constituency, Awaji-inomek Abiante for anti party activities.

 

This is contained in a statement signed by the caretaker committee chairman of his Ward 1, Ngo town, Andoni, Dike Bara, and the secretary, Dokubo Jackson on Monday in Port Harcourt.

 

“That Hon. Awaji-inomek Abiante should be, and is hereby suspended from the party for not only promoting factions at the ward level but also belonging to a group under the guise of the party: not being a group provided for in the party’s constitution. Which action is in breach of Sec. 58(l)(j) of the party’s constitution.

 

“Furthermore, the suspension of Dagomie Abiante became indispensable putting into consideration his involvement in organising, training and equipping group of members for the purposes of employing violence coercion and other form of intermediation within the party. Thereby, breaching section 58(l)(k) of the party’s constitution.

 

“We are committed to the party and determined to weed out bad eggs who are acting as agents of opposition political parties to weaken our party no matter how highly placed and to ensure that our ward remains PDP irrespective of the inducement and threat.”

 

Ihedioha dumps PDP

In the South-East, aside from the recent disagreement over the position of PDP National Secretary, which sparked a conflict among party leaders, chapters in the five states of the zone are embroiled in internal strife and numerous legal battles. On Tuesday, former Imo State governor, Emeka Ihedioha, and 11 others resigned from the party.

 

Explaining why he dumped the PDP after 26 years of membership, he said, “Regrettably, in recent times, the party has taken a path that is at variance with my personal beliefs. Despite my attempts to offer counsel, the party is, sadly, no longer able to carry out internal reforms, enforce its own rules, or offer credible opposition to the ruling All Progressives Congress.

 

“It is in the light of the foregoing, that I am compelled to offer my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party effective immediately. While the decision was difficult to take, I, however, believe that it is the right one,” he added.
